So then what you're saying is that you dont consider going from 32nd in defense to 16th in defense progress.
No offense but I'm guessing you haven't been around long, we're not defending some scrub D-Coordinator who has never done anything.
We're defending a guy that we know has a great defensive mind and who has showed it in the past when he was surrounded by more than 2 good players on defense.
Do me a favor all you people that want to blame Gunther for the defensive failure, name me 3 players on the defense that you would say played great this year.
I'll give you mine.
Allen
Surtain(no he didn't have INT's but that's the point of a shut down corner, very rarely was his reciever thrown to.)
And that's it.
You could put Mitchell in that list as he did do a good job his first season at MLB but I wouldn't put him in the great category.
I feel the losses, I hate being a fan of an underachieving team just like everyone else. But I will at least try to put the blame where it belongs and I'm sorry I can't blame the defense totally for us not making the playoffs. Last year I could have, this year I think the defense played well enough for the talent it fielded.
We need to start Carlos Hall opposite of Allen, get a big run stuffing tackle to complement Sims, Get rid of Bell and get a Safety that can run a 40 yard dash in under 5 seconds unlike the 2 we have now. And let Gun have a another year, if CP brings in talent and he still fails then you'll all be right.....my guess is that wouldn't happen. You can go back to his days as Raiders D coordinator and everything i'm saying even applies to then.
