re: Im sorry for the Knee Jerk Reaction but Jake Olsen has to go

You are a "the sky is falling" type of person.

Dude the safeties he had to work with in year one were Major, Sage, and Gilbert... I mean come on.

I'm not entirely ready to give up on Gilbert. He hasn't played well but there is potential. Having said that, I'm still hoping one of the young guys steps up and takes the job.

That group of vets has played under multiple staffs and position coaches and still suck. That's on the players

Is your implication, here, that having several different position coaches and coordinators and repeated shifts in scheme and personnel is actually *better* for player development than having continuity? Because you get to try out a whole wide range of different practice styles and developmental techniques and scheme? Because that's absurd. How are you supposed to develop when youve never had a chance to get comfortable with the stuff you're being asked to do?



In any event, i agree with your general take that I don't think we have nearly enough evidence to blame him for the terrible safety play. We just had bad players. The one thing I will question slightly is why we didn't see more of dashawn spears and, if it's because he wasn't the best guy at his position, why he apparently hasn't developed at all. If he comes out and balls out next year, I'll probably be very comfortable with where our safety room is at, with or without bradford. But if Spears is just as useless and the guys from 2024 and 2023, I'm going to start getting very skeptical that olsen is the right guy for the job.
