This defensive roster is ATROCIOUS. I'm not sure Buddy Ryan could make it a competent unit. Veach has given Spags a pile of shit and asked him to make salad.

And that's all well and good.
But even before Spags was formally hired I got a lot of excuses as to why he failed and very few demonstrations of where/when he actually succeeded. And those times he succeeded he had probably the best pass-rushing DL in the league. As I said then - I don't need to hear why a person failed at his last stop, I need to know why he'll succeed at
this one.
If all he can do is be successful when he has great players...what's he actually good for? I believe I called him Gunther 2.0 at the time and to date I've seen little to change that opinion.
I do think he's actually quite good at coaching up a secondary, but when I see coverages blown time and time and time again, it makes me wonder if the message is being lost. It's unlikely to be a teaching thing because there's very little changover on the roster. Something has the coordination in the defensive backfield a far cry from where it was a season ago.
So if the message is being lost and he's mostly a product of his players anyway...well maybe it's time for a change in the messenger...
