Us sucking D on Defense, is it the coaches or the talent?

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

I don't know how our defense fell apart this quickly, we were very solid last year and now we made the guy who won the get to be a Bengal for a day contest have an excellent game in place of AJ Green.

 

So who's to blame? The lack of talent and filling the defense with scrubs and rejects, or the coaches for not adapting?

With that said, bring Hardy's ass back after the Green Bay game, he'll have served his six games by then. (I know this won't happen because JR has to have his team take a hit in order to help goodell's incompetent ass with PR, but it would be nice)

Hardy's gone.  Frank Alexander is gone.  I think CJ is being limited by injuries.  Not sure what's going on with Star.  The secondary is a hot mess.  Kuechly, TD, and Short are really the only defensive players who are standing out.

 

We tried to mix some things up today and nothing really worked for long.  Cincy would simply counter our adjustments and keep on rolling.

[WhoAmI?]

Both. The lack of talent in the secondary and the young players on the D-line, and the coaches inability to adjust to what the offense is doing. Sean was sending some stupid blitzes throughout the game and kept calling that soft ass coverage, while our secondary was scared to hit anybody and running away from tackles. It doesn't look good at all. If Rivera can't field a good defense, then he is worthless.
