Originally posted by Rambler View PostI wonder if the defense's horrible performance yesterday was as much due to the absence of smart vets capable of making adjustments on the fly, to new looks presented by the offense. Weddle, and to a certain extent Te'o, seem to have been counted on by the coaches to make defensive calls and direct their teammates into positions to make plays, based upon what they see/saw on the field. Yesterday we had no Weddle and no Te'o. Who else on that defense puts in the film study, and is knowledgeable enough about alignments and strategy to do that? Ingram could be a leader, but the conjecture is that Weddle was talking about Melvin as someone not putting in the time in the film room to get better (and that seems to show on the field). Butler has no credibility with his teammates, the way he's been playing (if you call being on the field out of position playing). Flowers is a shell of himself, whether due to injury or advancing age. Liguet is a decent player, but not a vocal leader. In a few years, players like Verrett, Attaochu, Addae, Perryman and Emmanuel may someday develop into leaders, but right now they're still learning the basics and trying to figure out how to do their own jobs.
If we had drafted better in the last years of AJ, we'd have some veterans who could play and lead. Instead we wasted lots of picks on Larry English, Marcus Gilchrist, Jonas Mouton, Sharece Wright, and Vincent Brown. Gilchrist, Brown and Wright at least contributed for a few years, but none were worth keeping. When the few leaders we did draft got injured at the same time, we had no one to step up and take over.

Chuck Pagano is pretty much radioactive at this point. What GM/Owner wants to hire the guy responsible for the most famous fake punt in NFL history? Plus he presided over a team that seems to be underachieving (although you could blame that on the GM there). And what if Pagano (C) was hired and wants to pull a Marty and keep Pagano (J) on as the DC! Pep Hamilton is the OC in Indy and he has had success with Luck and Fleener at Stanford and in the NFL. Not sure how good he is away from those two guys. And his offense this year is not doing so well.
I doubt Harbaugh is let go in Baltimore. They have had quite a run, especially considering the free agency era the NFL operates in. He is a great coach and Newsome is a great GM. But every team (that does not CHEAT) has to reload at some point.
TGLike, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.

We went with the supposed next and up coming GM Teleso and Coach McCoy
Teleso got recognition because Indy was always in the playoffs, but looking back at his drafts with Indy he never addressed the Defense, just like now. Peyton Manning made everybody in the Indy organization look better than they were
.
McCoy got recognition for being OC with Denver when they had Kyle Orton\Tim Tebow not great QB's but they always had an Offensive line and a running game so the not so good QB's were a product of the system.
Coach McCoy may just be fit to be an OC not a Head Coach.
