They need some good secondary and dline talent. especially if they are going to sit in the nickel/dime for 60 percent of the game. They need corners that are worth a crap. Not guys they think they can coach up for pennies.

Coordinators don't often get fired in mid-season. Especially if a team is 6-3. And I don't expect the Chiefs to set a precedent. That said, has there ever been a team that fired a DC in mid-season and made it to the playoffs?
Promote Gary Gibbs to DC, anyone? He's been a DC for the Saints and a HC at Ok.

Let's start the "Promote Gary Gibbs to DC" campaign now. Can't be any worse, right?

Regardless of DC, Veach needs to make some moves. A little frustrated that we are so quiet on the free agent market. Dorsey may have been bad at negotiating contracts, but I appreciated that he'd sign cheap player after cheap player until he found one that stuck.
We've got too many guys out there who are flat out terrible. Last year, we tinkered around until we landed on Terrance Mitchell who alone turned our defense around. Why aren't we doing that this year? These are cheap contracts that don't destroy your cap. |

Thank you. "Promote Gary Gibbs to DC" gains momentum! So if it doesn't pan out ... we go from 31st defense to 32nd. Small risk for the potential improvement. Can I get a witness?

Remember the graphic from the game?
2015: very good defense, below average offense 2016. Average defense and offense 2017: Elite offense, bad defense We all fear our offense is reverting to 2016 levels. But the defense isn't getting better. |

Cleveland has a better defense. Their ppg is higher because they have a horrid offense that turns it over and puts the Browns D in bad spots. If we had a more turnover prone offense our D would be ranked dead last

Love or hate Tony Romo (jinx?), he seemed to have better insight into stopping the Pitt and Dallas defenses than Bob Sutton did. Easy to be an armchair DC, but this defense is truly getting worse. Last year they finished 24th in yards allowed and 7th in points allowed. So far this year: 29th in yards allowed and 25th in points allowed.

They aren't going to fire a coordinator that is working with this type of talent. It's not on him. There's only so much you can do to adjust the scheme to cover up weaknesses. Defensive line and linbackers can't get off a block or make a tackle? Gotta go +1 in the box. Go +1, acker/gaines/mitchell/peters are 1v1 and only one of them can have 'help' from a safety. Pick your poison, because 3 of them can't cover 1v1, and all of them suck at tackling.

fyp. This team has enough talent to be better than they are. There is such a thing as putting a player in a position to succeed. Bad scheme, bad coaching decisions are hurting this team.
