    With the exception of Malleveto, he tends to hold on to underperforming assistants at least a year too long, and even that took an 8-win season for a change to be made.

    correct, in fact I don't think he necessarily makes the moves, I think he is forced to make some of the moves

    this game is not for the feint of heart

    Miles is too soft when it comes to that. You're being paid nearly 4.5 million to win fucking ball games, not worry about where your inept coaches are going to land.

    players can have off years. coaches shouldnt. teams should improve especially when the bar was set so low from the starting gate. this defense has regressed in areas, if thats even possible.

    does any of this fall on the players shoulders? I mean you would think Lamin Barrow would want to show that he is an NFL caliber linebacker, same with Loston, unless he just thought he was going to ride those preseason accolades to the NFL. Same with the young guys starting for the first time. Freak too, but in his defense, the 3 big names in his class on the D line, Freak, Clowney, and Jernigan have all been more bark than bite in my opinion.

    some, sure. but its up to chavis to find the right mix. and put players in that show smarts and have some fight. as of now, we are lost-on secondary lost-on linebacking and lost-on pressuring the qb. we do almost nothing well. get some linebackers in that can play for starters. i dont care if its a walkon.

    I'm glad you pointed that out, honestly you can't say that Chavis hasn't been trying to find that right mix. The whole damn roster has played on D at some point this season.

    DJ Welter playing 80 percent of the snaps at MLB is unforgivable. Loston the same thing.
