Think Snow will defend his run D after today?

Remember, even Saban sucked as a NFL hed coach, but Rhule was supposed to break the mold?  Jimmy Johnson was the last college HC (without any prior NFL coaching gigs) to be successful. 

Things might have been different with Saban had they signed Drew Brees like he wanted. He pretty just said fug this and went back to college where he can run the full show after that. What's shocking is that Matt Rhule was able to get that type of control right out of the gate despite having close to zero NFL experience. Tepper really showed how green he was as an owner on that one.

Snow is the only reason Rhule was even mediocre in college. They’re intertwined in my opinion. Still don’t understand why we have 5-6 DBs on the field against an offense led by Brissett 

Seriously…going into this game wouldn’t you think the obvious keys were stop the run and screen game…holy snikies that was bad. Especially thinking of all the picks and capital spent on D

Once again, we have no identity on Defense.  It seems glaringly obvious that running a 34, 43, 52, etc., does not work.  Burns should be an OLB in a 34, period.  Roy should be a nose, Brown would play DE in the 34, etc.  But who wants a revamp and rebuild after the first game.  We don't have a clue.

Very bad game plan today.  We should have ran at Garrett all day like they ran at Burns

When your offense does nothing in the first half, and you're up against an excellent opposing o-line and man beast of a RB bad things are gong to happen.

On the other hand I've never liked this defense. Our defense looks like it's been built by someone who doesn't understand how to build a defense. We're too light up front, and Brown is a bust when going against a really good o-line.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
