If Spags went through more than one pre season game and couldn't tell that we didn't have those types of players and didn't make adjustments, He is an idiot and should be fired on principal.

He brought in as many new players as he could, but what was he suppose to do? "Well shite, I guess I have to run GW's defense." He was brought in to change things.

Also, why the hell did Ellis start and play so much at the begining of the year? He's opposite of that. Where were Hicks and Gallett and Wilson if that was the case? Why didn't we have Gallett/Wilson/Smith at DE and Jordan/Hicks/Buckley at DT?

Hicks was very raw. Junior and Wilson played their fair share, and Jordan moved in on the inside as well. The shite wasn't working very well at first, mostly (imo) because our two outside linebackers at the beginning of the year were Shanle and Herring.

I thought both the offence and defence were very slow almost stuck in cement scared of adjusting for the first 1/4 of the season.
I saw very poor play calling by Pete and Spags was too stubborn in rushing only four for too long. Both got us in a 0-4 hole. So I think there is plenty of blame to go around.
Anyone else agree?

CSP will figure it out regardless

He wasn't going to bring in a Justin Tuck, Osi or JPP. And he didn't have to run GW's defense. But why couldn't he say, "ok, I'm gonna play big up front and stop the run." or "I'm going to run small up front and rush the passer."? Instead he trotted the same guys out there until the end of the season and we watched the same shitburger defense every week.

And yes, I'm upset with this crappy arse defense and the way it was run all season. As I said, the players are part of the problem, but Spags doesn't get a pass for that atrocious defense.
