Don't know what to say and who to blame but i don't think it would change by firing Pees or trestman. I think obviously some blame has to go on Harbs. As a Head coach, i don't know that he has any deep knowledge of either offense nor defense (Ex- special team coach) so it's not like when things go wrong you can go to the HC and he's going to figure it out (like hoodie would) maybe wrong on this but that's what i feel. Also i don't know what is up with the scouting and OZ. Althought i trust in OZ fully i don't know why we have clearly miss on high draft picks. It could be us picking late in each rounds for some time now or maybe it is someone in high position who doen't have the best eye for talent who knows. But the bottom line is there is not enough talent on the roster. And not enough STAR players ala earl thomas, chancelor sherman,wagner, bennett flat out up dominate week in and week out.
Defensively we have zero pass rush and can't cover. Both work hand in hand but the 3-4 is base on OLB being disruptive (pitts couple years ago, T-Sizzle in his prime, DEN) and that is just not happening right now. Upshaw is strong as a bull but that's about it. Imo you don't draft guys like that 35th overall, guys with limited pass rush skills but good at setting the edge can be found in later rounds. Mosley is good and explosive but after that andy dalton shake n bake i don't know what to think. I have not focus on him recently so you guys tell me. Obviously we missed on Elam, which hurts. Also too many whiffs on picks from round 1-3. Those picks are critical and we cannot miss om them, (A.brown, Elam, jernigan, brooks, upshaw, pierce) I don't mean to say that these guys absolutly CAN'T play but when picking players from those round you hope getting some impact players.
the positive is, i really like our o-line and aswell as some of our backups. I like gilmore, C. davis, big B. williams, t.Walker looked good in PS, Boyle and Maxx, ORR looked really instinctive in preseason but it is still preseason.., Campanaro, W.davis)
As for this season, like others said maybe it is good that we lost like that, it will force us to look at ourselves honestly and stop sugar coating. Maybe play some younger guys too.
