You can't have it both ways and blame all the bad on the scheme/play calling and put the good down to the players. 

Well you can because turnovers like the punch has very little to do with the play call and more with the individual player, Leonard would be doing that punch if he was here or seattle (as long as it's a zone system.) it has nothing to do with the play call

Yet still weirdly middle of the pack in terms of the numbers given up. 

 

I didn't realise actually how good the run D had been till I checked DVOA.

Pass D has given up the 2nd most TDs in the league, and I think we're near the worst in passer rating allowed. That's just horrible to me lol.. The YPG allowed is like 20th I think. 

 

Run D has been our saving grace along with forced fumbles.

True, but coaching will have an influence in that. Though most will obviously coach these days to be aggressive in going for the punch out over wrapping up. 

 

How do you square our very good run D? Is that just individual performance too?

I won't blame it on injuries, but I would have liked to see how it looked without losing anyone resembling a safety.

 

I agree too with the gripe about not dialling up closer coverage. It's not just about say playing man all the time, but the cushions we show sometimes is way too conservative.

    • You were picking better than me most weeks, just had unfortunate luck once or twice, I definitely earned that last spot. My average was pretty bad week after week. 
    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time. 
    • I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?
    • I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.
