Originally posted by longterm9erfan:Good points all in this thread thus far... My two cents...since Harbaugh and his coaching staff left, this team has not had good coaching, both on an individual and scheme basis. Therefore, none of us really know what the players on the roster are truly capable of since they didn't received the necessary coaching and technique tips in order for them to reach their potential. Good coaching and scheming can hide deficiencies in a defense (and offense too) which all teams have to a degree. That is why the Patriots are so good year after year (and why the Niners were so good when Walsh was the coach).
The larger point is that now, all of us will see what each player is truly capable of because this GM and coaching staff is committed to putting all these players in positions where they can succeed (or in other words, helping to maximize player strengths and minimize deficiencies as best they can). It will be great to finally see this again. To me, this is what makes this :"rebuilding" year so fun and exciting.
I know the team only won 2 games last year and that is why everyone is stating that this roster had no talent. Well, if the coaching staff cannot help players reach their potential then you cannot say that the players have no talent. All you can say is that the coaching staff failed in bringing that talent out. Finally, it seems the team now has a staff in place that can do that.
Cheers!
Great post, good stuff 👍🍻
