Dopey Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Sure he's complained about the scheme and lack of cohesion. Also, being this late in the season, lining up so late and subbing so late on d is ridiculous, as he mentioned. But in reading different articles, it seems the LB's are complaining about the same thing. Preston Brown wears the headphones to get the calls and he said the same thing. Too late in the year for late calls and players not knowing what is going on. Even slow tempo teams are speeding up on them because it creates confusion to a poorly coached defense. In addition to Brown, we have db's flat out denying claims from Rex that they lack confidence. I've read comments from Kyle saying just let us go and we play well(can't find the article), not to mention Marcel commenting on similar issues with late subs. So, all 3 levels of the d have had comments on this and Mario is the whipping boy!? I don't care if he gets cut or not. We could use the $ elsewhere since we're rebuilding this defense(that's a whole other issue), but for this d to be this confused this late in the season and players running onto the field just before the snap is bush league and this coaching staff is responsible.
dave mcbride Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Re the back and forth about the DBs lacking confidence, note that McKelvin wasn't cited in that piece. If there's any guy who SHOULD lack confidence, it's him. And perhaps he does, and Rex may be referring to that.
