yeah, coaching makes NO difference (oh, sorry. I now see how you said it's a 'part')

coaching is the difference between a team that 'somehow' drafts only defensive line 'gems' in the first few rounds (patriots) and a team that apparently can't draft defensive linemen for SHIT in the first few rounds (chiefs)

coaching is the difference between a young, hyped OLB developing and a young hyped OLB regressing (derrick johnson)

coaching is why siavii, freeman, sims, and maybe (mcbride, tyler, and dorsey) are looked at as busts (mcbride, tyler, and dorsey, admittadely, are only really called busts by idjits)

coaching is the difference between a guy who dominates in college (dorsey) and a struggling rookie who apparently only has ONE passrushing move.

coaching is playing guys out of position (tyler and dorsey)

coaching is playing a piece of shit (mcintosh) and maybe letting a young/talented guy get a shot

yeah. coaching makes NO difference. I mean, yeah, I guess there's no reason that the good coaches get paid better than the bad coaches. if coaching made no difference, they'd all get paid the same.

dude, seriously. stop digging the hole.

wait--FOOTWORK. a position coach has NO reason to help a guy out with his footwork, correct? ****. coaching means NOTHING

Guinta couldn't do anything with KCs secondary, with the Giants he looks great.

The same guy who developed Eli and Romo also "developed" Carr and Couch.

coaching won't help this. guys miraculously get better, they shouldn't even ****ing pay the coaches. right? right?

So he has more tackles, a few less sacks, needs an int.... Ummm
These are actually pretty solid stats for a rookie D-Tackle, and Dorsey has 5 more games left. I agree that he isn't as influential as Sapp was his rookie season, but I also thought that Matt Ryan would be terrible, so what do I know.

but coaching isn't everything. coaching won't help dorsey. FLAIL FLAIL, OMG, TEH FIRST ROUND BUST! ROOKIE BUST! OMGZ

Who did Sapp have around him his rookie year?

depends on how you define 'great'

in 2007, they were 11th against the pass (giants). his secondaries ALSO benefit(ted) by having a tremendous pass rush ahead of them. you give some of those chiefs teams strahan, tuck and umenyiora, and I guarantee they're ranked higher than they ended up being ranked.

oh, and he had robinson to contend with in KC and an atmosphere of '**** defense.' he has one of, if not THE, best defensive coordinators in football in new york. you may have heard of him? steve spagnuola.

LMAO Your football knowledge knows no bounds...

:)

Santana Dotson, Brad Culpepper and Chidi Ahanotu.

whos job is it to demonstrate that on the field? The player.

A coach can advise him, but it's the players responsibility to work and practice what he needs to do to improve.

tell me that wasn't from your memory. if it was, impressive recollection.

I remember ahonotu and dotson. they were decent to good. culpepper I don't remember, and I'm not motivated enough to check the google and find out.

OMG You obtuse, reeruned chimp. Would you just look at the damn stats people are posting. Thats all you need to know.

It's his job to review film of himself, and see where he needs to improve. And practice upon it.

Great players do it all the time. Coaches can advise, and guide. As far as the training programs go, he can hire his own trainer to help in that regard..or have him design an offseason workout program what he needs to do?
