I think he already is on a little bit of a hot seat because our FO wont accept missing the playoffs 3 out of 4 years. Pees on the other hand, his seat is literally on fire! Hes gonna get rocks thrown at him the minute this D slips up a bit. Regardless of our overall record, Pees needs to be top 10 in every meaningful statistical category a D can be in (red zone, 3rd down, total yards, takeaways). We also need to see some value in players that were drafted so high. Elam, Brooks, A.Brown, T.Walker, and W.Davis for him to work with.
Last year and the year before we gave Pees the excuse of his starters, (Webb, J.Smith) were injured and the backups were a bunch of 6th and 7th rounders that probably wont make a roster if they were cut. Unfortunately the guys that left played better with their new teams and the guys that came played much worse that they did with their former teams (Arrington, Lewis)This year Pees has 3 quality starters when you include HIll in the secondary and a litter of great raw talent. If you cant make something out of them then its on you Pees.
Arrington:- never was a big fan but he played much better with the Patriots as slot CB
Lewis:- Never was a big fan but he played much better as a Cheif and a Texan
Elam:- !st round. I'm not asking to make him a pro bowler but for gods sake put him in a position to at least help not hurt the team.
T.Walker:- 4th rounder
W.Davis:- 3rd rounder
Brooks:- 3rd rounder
2016 Draft and FA:- Unknown but you know some talent will be added
If pees cant find 1 starter and above average depth from these guys then he never will. I hate to throw this out there but all Pees has proven since Ed Reed left is that Ed was right to ignore his calls and pull the secondary strings on his own.
In two consecutive seasons, the defense has finished in the top ten twice overall under Pees.
