No, i'm referring back to our lack of talent on defense. I'm not a Ryan fan, but it doesn't matter who they hire as long as we have bums on defense.

These guys we keep hiring aren't idiots. GW and Spags had VERY good track records. Much better than Ryan's, and they come here and look like idiots.

We can keep hiring new DCs but as long as Roman Harper is getting smoked, Patrick Robinson and Jenkins are embarrassments, we can't tackle, and we get no pass rush, it won't matter who we hire.

Im literally copy/pasting these posts from last year when we hired Spags.

Not that everybody automatically lives up to their draft spot but we've got a ton of high picks on D, we've got to get something out of them. Guys like PRob and Jenkins absolutely have the tools to be good players.

I think Ryan can be ok but his downside is Spags bad. In 2011, they had a middle of the road defense ranking between 11-16 in nearly every stat. However in 2012 they were pretty bad.

Yeah, its not for lack of effort. They've spent tons of picks, first round picks, on defensive players. They've been wrong on too many of those picks, though.

They've built an all time great offense, but 7 years and now four defensive coordinators later our defense is still awful.
