Im sure this has been talked about, but the biggest concern with Spags was having terrible career defenses in other places before coming here...

I don't hate Dorsey and know he played a large role. But our super bowl is largely due to veach impressively turning our defense into a 4-3 overnight. We are paying today for many of those decisions. But it was worth it. And no, dorseys defense was not even close to ready to win a super bowl for us. Nor could we handle yet another year of Dorseys cap management. We got two years of super bowls where our defense played pretty well and we're calling it a waste? Holy hell. |

We turned our defense from worst to super bowl winner in one offseason. All while switching us from a 3-4 to a 4-3. We turned our OL from worst to one of the better ones in one offseason. How has he not earned our trust to turn it around? Spags makes me nervous if he can't adjust out of it. But veach has more than earned the trust to try to fix it. I seriously don't get why he has become our boogeyman all of a sudden. |

We cannot dilly dally and waste these seasons…just my opinion. I don’t care if it’s Spags, EB, Andy, Veach, or whoever. |

That means getting rid of Clark, Hitchens, Sorensen, Reed and freeing up lots of payroll. There's no reason why last year's defense should be a difficult bar to hate even after cutting those guys. Meanwhile our offense is really just a productive WR away from dominating again, assuming we trust Reid to outsmart deep zones. Which he will. But we gotta give veach that shot. He is held back by leftovers from the last window. Which expired way sooner than it should have, but again, that cost was damn worth it. And much as I appreciate spags, we have to figure out if he's the guy to usher in this new era. He's proved us wrong the past two years. Let's hope he doesn't again and doesn't pull a Sutton where his scheme expired. |

I also think it's on coaches to ask for the right things. It's no surprise Reid did well with OL and less well with WRs many of whom are serviceable WRs who can block and play STs. Just as it's no surprise spags did well with CBs but goes after slow plodding LBs. But point being, veach has responded really well in the past to crises. Let's see how he responds to this one. |

I’d like to see a poll of which defensive players CP thinks can stay on the team

Gay was starting and played every down when the defense got 3 straight stops. Coincidence?
