personnel is only part of the problem, yet every year (DC)Smith's personnel has been improved without any evidence of that on the field. besides his no-identity-having, undefined "vanilla" and playing crapshit players instead of young guys with potential we still rank near last in turnovers, yards given up per play and per game, bad at 3rd down stops, etc...if this isn't the same defense as when he started, why do they still play like the same defense? at some point i don't believe personnel is the problem anymore, that point is this year...now.
