Like I said, when we had Spags coach the worst defense the league has ever seen, players said it was "too complex" of a defense and Rob Ryan made it easier.

That was when I was 100% sure our defense are a bunch of low IQ players. They are the type of players that you have to let them use their athleticism and not their brain.

This season, Rob Ryan tries to get fancy and complex the first what...5 games of the season? We fail like Spags defense did. Yet the last three games we've had turnovers and pretty much dominated opponents. Our players are just not geniuses, which I don't care if they are or not.

I have always thought the exact opposite. Dumb players don't seem to be CSP's MO.

I have always thought our players very smart and when they realize they were to slow to make the play!

I mean, you gotta tailor your scheme to your players.

Let the players do what they do, and they'll succeed.
They're talented, but they're not gonna take to complexities.
