The defense has played well this year, but Blache does doesn't understand defense, even 10% of what Williams does. He's predictable, they can't change out of his piss poor calls, and he's particually ineffective on third downs when we need to get off the field. I like him as a line coach, but he's got to go as our coordinator.

Springs came back, and benched Rogers so he could play his boys, Hall and Mike Green. Then, with our three best CBs healthy, he's got Smoot covering Houshmanzadeh and Hall on Chad Johnson.

When our defense plays this poorly against the Bengals offense, I don't think we can defend him coming back. I don't think the unit as a whole is poorly coached, but every offensive coordinator we face outcoaches Blache, which was never an issue with Williams.

i saw an interview with blach and he was asked about rogers lack of playing time in this game. blach said that rogers has been sick with the flu all last week and part of this week and as a result rogers was just too weak to play many downs.

Good enough reason for me, but the NFL might want to know why that wasn't on the injury report.

Yeah, and because of the lobbying power that Vegas has within the NFL, teams can get in hot water over this.

Of course, he might have been fine all week and Blache could have been dodging the question, but that's not my job to sort out.
