Well, I've been saying for two years that Pees needs to go. I think though, it's becoming apparent that our defensive player personnel are every bit as responsible as the bad scheming. Way too many missed tackles this year. Just poor fundimentals. And the drop off from the starters to the backups is drastic. I still think Pees needs to go - mostly because I think his style of defense is outdated and too easily shredded by journeymen and rookie QB's alike - but also because a change might be the spark we need to ignite the players on that side of the ball. Also, guessing Babin is officially released tomorrow. We're a bad football team this year. Ozzie's gonna need to answer for that too. Oh well. I guess we're spoiled. 2016.

With a beat up O-line, mediocre wide outs (save for Triple S) and a running back corps that no one is expecting Pro Bowls from, we still put up 33 on the road. Lots of upside there. But the D? It's either a talent or coaching deficit, and I personally believe it falls on the coaches; most notably the guy responsible for game-planning. If all we're going to do is rush three guys and drop all the LB's into coverage, we might as well just get a bunch more DB's and get rid of all the guys whose numbers are in the 50's. We seem to put these guys into positions they can't play and space they can't cover forcing the safeties to creep in to help them. Meanwhile, the opposing QB could be wearing concrete shoes and our D-line couldn't get close enough to read his jersey- unless he's already thrown the pass, right Timmy?

So now that we are pretty much assured fighting it out with the Browns for the cellar, can we please find a new D-coordinator?

Am I wrong or is faceguarding the receiver without thurning around to play the ball, pass interference?

Another two minute defensive stand. I know, it's me.

Well that was ugly.

Apparently Sandusky's not reading this thread.

At least we get the ball again before the half.

Uh, coaching?

It's Bristol Baby!

I'm hardheaded.

I know it's only preseason, but the Dean Pees factor has shown up already.
