Our linebackers and secondary completely negate any pass rush we have. They have to play so far off the ball that teams are just going to take the 5-7 yards and move along. 
 

Linebacker is a major need next offseason, however, I’m not sure I want to see us take another one in the first.

We may need someone to put next to Brown.  Weatherly has been a bit underwhelming as well.  Snow doesn't seem to like the wild McD-esque blitz packages so we need some better beef.  We're dealing with flank steak and need a porterhouse.

Dont you be hating on a flank steak, They each have their place. We need a ribeye.

Our defense has been fine for the youth on the field. And our offense has directly lead to 21 points this year by having turnovers within our own 25 yard line. 

If ATL didn't drop have their passes in the soft zone last week we'd be toast right now. Thats a systemic issue.

Make it 6 games, but I digress. We also play QBs who get it out fast (which directly led to 3 picks we’ve gotten), but I’m seeing one DL generating consistent pressure (Burns) and one DL clogging the line with any regularity (Brown). Kerr has his moments today and YGM and Haynes have also done well, but it’s really been just two guys.

I get how people poo themselves when we draft a LB in the first, but Dan Morgan, Thomas Davis, Jon Beason and Luke Kuechly were pretty decent players

Meanwhile, our less talented defense with a coordinator hardly anyone wanted is actually outplaying our more talented offense with the coordinator virtually everyone wanted.

Our play has major personnel holes in it yes, but the scheme gets blown up pretty easily and the players are the ones keeping us in the game. The ATL game came down to their drops. Its simply not a high caliber NFL defense. Im happy to give rhule+snow a year for next year, they got a lot of at odds pieces and young bloods. but next year if this is the same thing, chopping block.

I'd look at a situation where Snow remains on the staff but transitions into a consultant/assistant HC.  He helps Rhule out. 

Key is finding that DC and a leader or two at LB and DL.

We put a lot of misfit toys on defense and we’re 3-3 with a DC who’s never been an NFL DC. They’ve exceeded my expectations.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
