re: Defense isn't Reloading its Rebuilding

so if that's the case, why not take a few chances, blitz more, play aggressively, instead of this utter GARBAGE we're seeing that supposedly passes for a gameplan?

This is exactly my problem with the coaching. Clearly, our talent level on D isn't good enough this year, so it's up to the coaches to devise different schemes to try to make our D more effective. Without NFL talent on D, simply lining up and playing our standard scheme isn't working this year.

Why not devise an actual game plan that is completely unpredictable to opposing offenses. Blitz from different spots, use zone blitzes, disguise coverages better, etc. Use ANYTHING to try to confuse the offenses and keep them guessing. Playing straight-up D won't work against good offenses, so we've got to be smarter and mix it up.

Isn't this what coaches are supposed to do all week when they're crafting the "game plan?"
