I put the blame squarely on coaching. The F.O. has invested our first pick in each of the last 3 drafts on defensive players (Taylor, Rogers, McIntosh), yet the defense has regressed each of the past two seasons. Taylor was better as a rookie than he is now, and the same can be said for Rogers. The book is still out on McIntosh, but it's pretty damning that he couldn't break the lineup until the end of a season of MISERABLE linebacker play. Clearly there needs to be a reduction in the coaching staff on both sides of the ball, because the players just aren't playing off the same sheet of music, especially on defense. For that I blame coaching.
