Now if he could just play defense against the pass

Yup, I don't think anyone questioned his strength was against the run.  A definite liability in coverage though.  That also demonstrates how bad our DL and LB play has been this year overall.  I can't remember the last time our run defense was this bad.  Did I say bad?  That was too nice, absolutely fugg'n putrid!  That's a more accurate depiction.

Yeah, it's a good/bad thing. Good for Reid for getting those tackles, but a DB getting 100+ tackles is usually a really bad thing for the overall defense. 

We basically tried to play him in a TD role with him covering deeper routes... not going to happen. Just move him into the TD role, he’d thrive for a few more years.

Would never be TD though, nobody can replace him.

Just looked it up, this team had only one other year when our run defense was this bad.  Hazard a guess?  If you said 2001 you would be correct.  That year we finished dead last, but thanks to the Bengals being a bigger dumpster fire than us right now, we will have to settle for runner-up this year.

      Also, you don't really get good value by drafting a center in the first.

      First off, we haven't been ignoring the defense. We have drafted several defensive players, but, perhaps more importantly, we have added good pieces in free agency. Secondly, the offense was still kinda bad (27th or so depending where you look at). You can't just say we can't pick an offensive guy while acknowledging that the offense wasn't good. Everything is on the table. Like I said above, it seems kind of counterproductive to say that we shouldn't draft an offensive player high unless they're at certain positions. The offense was mediocre at best. Sure, we had an uncanny knack to win some close games at opportune times, but the offense wasn't really good. To me, it makes little sense to put limitations on who/what we should draft when we need an upgrade at so many positions. What you look at is trying to get the best value--bang for your buck so to speak--and that's the way it should be. D-Mo has used FA to set up the draft in order not to be pigeonholed into anything, and that's the way that it should be.

      Hubert has plenty of money. I don't hate the guy. I think he a legit good guy. This is Ron Rivera all over again for me. It's just very obvious a coaching change is needed and it audka we gottaboart ways with a good guy and I'd much rather it work out but the same issues appearing again and again year after year are clearly shouting what needs to happen. With that said, if we hire Todd Golden, that's it. I'm out. I'd greatly prefer to just keep getting disappointed by Hubert. I can at least stand to root for that.
