Smith? Dunta was vocal in his wanting Smith gone, and I believe he was calling out Hoke also. Dunta is a player and a leader who is respected by Kubiak.
For three years our defense started bad and became better when the scheme was dumbed down. That is a sign.
Game plans played to not lose, not to win.
Hoke? See Dunta comment above.
For 7 years our DBs have sucked and one person has been the same. Dunta had a great rookie season and then did not progress as much, why? Anyone remember Dom Capers working one on one with Dunta his rookie year? Also Aaron Glen was here his rookie year and then gone, his mentor. Maybe Aaron wants to coach???
Soft coverage, how many times did our DB get on a guy at the line and challenge him? Most shut down corners/man cover experts play right on the line. You cannot succeed in the NFL giving guys clean releases. You have to disrupt.
Again schemed to not lose.
Franklin? Mario made the comment a few week ago that caught me, he told Franklin he was going to go then read, not read then go. We have 3 guys on the DL that start that have the ability to get by there man (TJ was a perpetrator in college), and we are asking them to wait, read the play then try to make a play. Scheme is not design to our players strengths.
When you play small ball (our DL is small on average) you have to be aggressive not reactive.
Again game plan was to not lose.
Common to all was playing to not lose. Something not mentioned was the lack of deception. Our player always line up the same, and pretty much played the same few coverages. Backup QBs would play our defense and become one week wonders.
Remember the comments before the Steelers and the Ravens, the OL talks of defense walking around to just before the snap, no one on the offense knows what the heck was going to happen. Organized chaos, that is what keeps the best offenses guessing.
So now what? Kubiak stated he will give the coaches some time off, make a list, then interview. This sound like a play off team coach might be on the short list. So this could take a while.
Who? When asked about 3-4, Kubiak did not rule it out, but prefered to stay 4-3. So a 3-4 guys maybe on their list
Frank Bush was called by name for the interview, Ray Rhodes will be retain but might just be there for Kubiak to sound off of. Rhodes has seen just about everthing, and Kubiak admitted to going to Rhodes for advice on things.
I am glad Johnnie Holland is retain, I have watched him since his HS days.
I am thinking a play to win DC would be best. Sean McDermott. (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/CoachBios.asp?coach_id=10) looks solid.
Also a lot of experience guys are being let go, could be a retread.
Cannnot wait for Mark Berman to break the story .
