OK hire in my opinion.

And if it turns out that we don't have that "Jason Taylor", would that mean that Richard Smith is a bad coach?

And even when we did, It meant just that.......

Sorry for the ancient thread, just wanted to close the loop on Smith....

Alright it is starting to take shape. I am really liking the words, tone and directness in Kubiak's answers as I read them. I would be interested to have heard the interview with Kubiak.

Very interested to hear Smith and see what his vision is for the league's worst defense.

To be just as terrible and just as inept as the previous four years?

His true goal is to make us all wish for Vic Fangio back.

funny reading some of the optimism when RS came on board.

good times.

even this clown is way better than frank bush.

aaaahhhhh, zombie thread on the loose!!

 

[Ryan]

I was just ever so tempted to bump it.

I'm not seeing where we are any better off with Frank Bush than with Richard Smith.

At least the Richard Smith defense made the opposing team work for their TD. The Frank Bush defense is having a buy one, get one free TD special. Hell i think it's all free.

The players are to blame more than the scheme. Specifically the DB's and DT's. I've seen a lot of our defensive plays result in a tackle for loss, and then one guy misses his assignment, resulting in a 60+ yard play.

I'd be more worried if our defense looked like last year's, where opposing runningbacks were getting five to ten yards on every down (which we saw in preseason, but not regular).

Was kinda' hoping we had hired him back...but it was just a bumped thread.

:bummer:

Just checking back to see if maybe we DID hire Richard Smith back.

But I guess we didn't.

I'm pining for the good old days of Richard Smiths read and re-crap defense. I remember that bygone era where teams would run up and down the field at will on us and we would only give up 30 points a game. I tell ya, it brings a tear to my eye.

Bring back Richard Smith. At least he didn't field the worst defense in NFL history. He was close, but never approached this suckitude.

 

[Wolf]

heck while we are at it

I am wondering what Fangio's defense would have done with the defense being we do have an offense that can score


ahh the days of the Texans in survival mode on offense.. just play field position and hope.. meanwhile the defense carried the load

LOL. Ah yes, "the good old days..."
