If they weren’t so worried about a complex system that everyone seemingly has figured out then maybe we could get a turnover.
So, this off season I doubt if I'll be that much excited over whomever is brought in. It won't make a difference how talented they are because this staff will find a way to hold them back, what makes most players good is their instincts and this "scheme" seems to tear down a players' feel for the game and force them to start from scratch. Whoever we draft with the 6th pick, which I hope will be Alan Branch (because there is not much scheme that can affect the duties of a DT);career won't start until they part ways with us.
I'm tired of hearing how this player is no good or Sean Taylor has regressed, our players clearly aren't put in position to make plays while abiding by this overwhelming/overrated scheme that I've never been comfortable with because of its vulnerability. This is ridiculous, ST is one of the most talented players I've seen in my lifetime and when he has a performance like last season, someone should be fired. It seemed as if he forgot how to play football, most of his 111 tackles were a result of cleaning up someone else’s mess. They (the defensive coaching staff)should be ashamed of themselves for the way they made him look in Philly.
I'm tired of this, every off season; it's like "Groundhogs Day"...Something has got to change. No matter how good our off season acquisitions are we always seem to find a way to make them mediocre-at-best.

always figure out how to hold people back? is that why UDFAs like pierce and marshall did so well? I mean, yeah 2006 sucked hard, but they were good enough the two years previous... at least good enough so that we can't really use phrases like how they're always terrible.
