That's brilliant, ignore anything any player might be doing right. Go into the practice facility with the red ass, yelling "you're all shit, and can't do anything right. There's nothing to be improved upon. . . . Matter of fact, hand me my blowtorch. I'm burning this whole thing to the ground."

Vermeil has been fluffing the defense since they were blistered against the Broncos last year. Obvioulsy 10 months later, his approach still doesn't work. I don't want him to yell you're all shit, I want some blame being put on this unit. I think it's pointless to keep building up this defense only to watch them fold on Sundays.

I just don't put much faith in Vermeil's ability to recognize good defense. He's had 4 years here to turn the thing around, and when you finish in the low 20s in defense all four years that tells me he doesn't know the defensive side of the ball.
