Anyone else have the thought, giving Sandlot the D coordinator job, with little experience, not to mention his age, has caused division on that side of the ball?
Is there even another coach on D that's younger and less experienced?
No one else on staff even got an interview?
Probably grasping at straws, trying to figure out the complete implosion on that side of the ball.
@Ironhead Not sure if any of them wanted to interview at the time. You'd think being on the staff they would have known or at least given some type of interest in the job.
I cannot remember the guys that had the podcast but saw it on one of the threads. It has Shannon Snell on there and they interviewed him about the defense as you question here. It was a long interview but basically he described it as what Rookies face in the NFL as hitting the Rookie Wall. He was explaining that at this point in the season, they are just task saturated and just burned out. He went on to say that this will bode them well going into next season. In addition with the injuries did not help at all. With this D any type of personnel loss is a huge blow, they cannot nor could afford it.
I've been scratching my head as well, but what he talked about could be part of it. Some of the other podcasts I've been listening to have described that the scheme is good, just need seasoned, experienced players to run it. Take it for what it's worth. But since you asked, passed along what I've heard. One thing I will say, I don't get the feeling there is dissention among the staff and players. Who knows what for sure is going. Being at the 10,000 foot overview, we may never ever really know for sure.
Just hanging in there.
