So what do you guys want???

[The Saltman]

now we are 8th in both forced fumbles and interceptions so I do give the defense that and that is why I think we are able to look somewhat good.

[Guild]

I agree with what you're saying about the offense but what I'm trying to say is we aren't that good. We are mediocre, and for such a crappy offense we need the defense to pick up more of the slack and I know that is hard. But being 18th in yds allowed, 21st in pts allowed, 20th in 3rd down percentage and 26th in sacks is pretty mediocre to me.

The rankings are meaningless when not used with lots more information. Such as Time of Posession, points scored for, points scored against, and much much more.

In fact the only stat that you mentioned that would challenge our defense being good is the 3rd down conversion percentage against which is lacking, but we did just play the Saints which is going to hurt our placement especially considering how some teams have still only faced the weakest teams in the league offensively.

[The Saltman]

well then sir I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I hope our offense can pick it up some so the defense can really shine and prove me wrong. That will equate to wins and make me happy

These guys refuse to sign you an autograph?

Because of all of them have earned the right to stay.

I'll preface my response by saying Football is a sport of now. What you've done in years past is irrelevant if your current level of achievement is horrible.

That being said...

Our current 2010 O-line stats are:

#28 in Sacks allowed (12)

#29 in QB Hits (25)

#17 in Rushing yards (413)

#17 in Avg. Rush yards per att. (4.0)

This is WAY down from last year and is unacceptable. Our O-line is not doing their job, which is Dave Magazu's responsibility. Ergo, he's not getting the job done.

Our current 2010 Defense stats are:

#18 Overall

#21 in Points per game

#21 in Points allowed

#18 in Total Yardage allowed

And here's the tell-tale for our D-Line:

#26 in Total Sacks

We play a 4-3, so the D-Line has to create pressure on the QB for that scheme to work. We haven't been doing that well at all. The D-line is the responsibility of Brian Baker.

Jerry Simmons is a common link in both line problems. Our players come on the field looking flat.... tired even... they have no spark in the way they move. And poor Line play is going to be a big red-alert indicator of a S&C problem.

Tyke Tolbert... our WR coach... lol do I really need to argue this point? Ok... fine. We are ranked #28 in receiving right now. Enough said.

So no, I have nothing against any of these bolded names on a personal level. I simply, and objectively do not see performance from these areas.

[Carolinator]

To win.

I was hoping for a wr.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Rip Scherer needs to gtfo...

[blackcatgrowl]

Rip Scherer needs to gtfo...

Amen.

[The Saltman]

3rded.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Not only is he obviously the common link in sabotaging our QB play for the past couple years, but he is a creepy looking dude...

I think Fox and Davidson also play a key role in this.

EDIT - Other than Scherer, who is a person that you would take?

[rayzor]

as bad as rip might be...rip > mccoy.

get harbaugh in here as HC.

curtis johnson in as OC (yes, the saints WR coach for the past 4 years)

or

jim zorn in as OC to help with development of clausen

either way, the offense would be harbaugh's and johnson or zorn would be in for development's sake and to help install harbaugh's offense.

[The Saltman]

u really think rip is better than mccoy? what is the reasoning behind that?

[Ruff]

u really think rip is better than mccoy?

Hell no.

But, I don't think we can get Mike McCoy back here, anyways, unless it's as an Offensive Coordinator of OC. I mean, he's an HC right now. Who wants to downgrade? (Don't mention Trgovac, because he's an idiot.)
