IMHO Jim O´Neil, his scheme is bad, also I´m leaning toward Joe Bowden the ILB coach, and Jerry Azziraro the DL coach.
O´Neil scheme is bad, while I´m no expert I´m reading that the gap integrity is a problem, our run defense is terirble, allthough it has been better since Dorsey returned to the lineup we´re still getting puished arround in the run game, our D line. Our ILB, yes the current ones are bad, are cuaght out of position, have poor technique. Thatßs up to the position coaches. Buckner still playing from times to high is also on the position coaches.
Uh, yeah. Jim O' Neil should have been fired weeks ago. When you lose 12 straight games, there really are no excuses anymore.
Why should Jim Oneill be fired exactly?? Its not his fault the roster talent level is laughable.
Is it the scheme or the players? When your players are out of position on a regular basis and the cornerbacks have only intercepted one pass all year, with the bit of talent we have on the roster, we should have been playing better. It seemed as though the linebackers were constantly in the wrong gaps, up field as the running backs blow right by them through some of the biggest gaping holes I've seen. Rich Eisen could have run through those gaps.
So despite having a poor roster, Jim O' Neil hasn't been helping matters any. When someone asked him about "gap discipline", he wasn't familiar with that term.
