Re: Is anyone else just absolutely disgusted with DM5's play?

The defense has been a problem. It was average last year, it was average this year until the bye week. It's been bad since. It was never improved, but that would have been a lofty expectation, given that we didn't invest anything in it between 2009 and 2010. We made all of our investments (McNabb, Trent Williams, Jammal Brown, Artis Hicks, Larry Johnson, Joey Galloway, Roydell Williams, Kory Lichtensteiger) on the offensive side of the ball. That's the side we were planning on making a significant improvement. It didn't, so you should probably figure out what went wrong. Why hasn't McNabb played like he did in Philly? Why hasn't Artis Hicks been the starting lineman we thought? Who thought Joey Galloway could still play? etc. The defense is its own animal. It's badly underachieved the last four games, particularly against the run. But we didn't invest anything there so things were more prone to go wrong on that side of the ball (additions: Buchanon, Carriker, Kemoeatu). The troubling thing about the season is on the offensive side, where we've been no better, and would rank probably 30th in points if not for the contributions of one Brandon Banks. We actually released Banks prior to the Rams (Texans?) game, if you'll remember. That's how much we were expecting to need his contributions.
