In the last two weeks the defense has looked real solid for 2 1/2 quarters per week. The players seem to be looking for the oh no moment, and I think the defensive players are tired of the offensive turnovers. As a team the players are still not pointing fingers, which is good.

Now, I listen to Dunta's talk about Kubiak, and get a feeling he his not happy with the defensive coaches. He talks about veteran players not being able to get lined up, and on the same page. He said this has lead to blown plays, big plays.

Is our defense trying to be to smart? In past years our defense started off bad and then the injury bug hits and the play improves, why? Is Richard Smith trying to hard to be called smart coach?

What kind of staff would I want if I was an owner? One like Ravens, Solid OC with proven track record as a OC, bad record as a HC. Solid DC, who understands that he is in a great situation.

I have always liked an attacking defense and I am not impressed by special coverages that no one can figure out how to play in.

I have loved the Ryan twins for some time. But if I was Kubiak, I would call Mike Nolan about become the DC/ HC of Defense, fire Richard Smith, and let everyone know you are playing for your job next year, or coaching for your job next year. It would send a message of change, and Nolan was the DC of the Ravens Super Bowl team.
