I really think the secondary would look better with better coaching. Hell! Maybe the LBs would be halfway serviceable with better coaching as well. This team, particularly, the defense isn't being coached up.
I'd forced Rivera to fire JDR tomorrow. If he doesn't, then I'd fire both tomorrow.
Oh trust me I blame coaching first and than personnel. You are right about the secondary. There is some talent there. Lombardi couldn’t make these linebackers better though. They are a comedy show.

You get your ass outta here 😅😅😅😅😅
He did though. He did all he could tonight to solidify the fact that he won't be here too much longer.

At the very least JDR has to go. We've got 40mil invested in 2 DL players, and a #2 overall pick in DE and another 1st round pick DL. All together we've got 4 first round picks on the DL and we can't get anything going.
Either it's one of these two things:
1) We have a ton of talent that isn't coached or schemed properly.
2) We have mediocre talent overall and poor pickers of talent.
Either way, somebody needs to go. How are we right at the salary cap, yet still a sub .500 team? That generally means you are overpaying people when you shouldn't or your team is under-performing greatly.
If your team that is even close to the cap, your team should be performing or at least being competitive.

Yep, I'm right there with you. Through 5 games with all these high draft picks and each week you are allowing 30+ points...JDR has to be shown the door tomorrow.

That is losing your shit?
I put that in here, just to see what it would look like when you lost your shit...
I'm disappointed...
Sorry to disappoint lol. Outside of a good ole fashioned game thread i don’t lose my shit because I know Ron won’t be here next year. That writing has been on the wall a while. Honestly i can deal with this year because im happy snyder is gone. Competence and competitiveness are right around the corner. It will get cleaned up. I’ve waited almost 25 years thinking the day would never come. I will gladly wait one more knowing it will.

I want to see wholesale changes on defense in the next 10 days, starting with firing JDR before the weekend.
I want to see Jabril Cox, Jamin Davis, and Khaleke Hudson as the primary LBs in the next game.
It's easy to bench Forbes, but I didn't agree with that call. St Juste and Fuller looked just as bad or worse - and the safeties were no help tonight. Let Forbes stay in there and take his lumps - and maybe make a play.
Have to get more out of this D-line. A play here and there isn't good enough.
Lose 2 of the next 3 and it's time to start trading mother fuckers for whatever you can get before the trade deadline.

Forbes was beyond bad tonight. I really liked the pick. Thought he was going to be a better tackler than advertised. Might take an L on that one. His penchant for going for the big play and whiffing will work itself out. He is just over pressing. He has to just cover his guy. The big plays will come but you can’t force them. It seems like the more he screws up the more he forces them. Like he is going to get a pick 6 and everyone is going to forget everything that happened so far.

Fuller did the exact same thing on that last TD, and St Juste got burned himself. They were all bad tonight...out of position too often. JDR has to go.

I wonder if Rivera actually said this....

He did, in early September.
