Should we keep Meeks

Our defense was the strongest part of our unit most of this season. They wore down during games due to being on the field too long, I understand that, kinda... But now our run defense is looking like the Colts old run defense, weak. This soft zone we're playing is a TE's and slot receiver's dream and because of it, we are unable to make stops when it counts. We are giving up 148.3 rushing yards p/game but only 203.5 passing yards p/gm. Should we keep Meeks?

When the HC goes his assistants leave with him.

It's possible he could stay if the new coach wants to run a 4-3 cover 2 but not likely.

His defense looks this way because he's lost two top linebackers and he's never had a DT near starter quality. The offense doesn't help.

If he returns next season he has my full confidence.

what I like about Meeks is the adjustments he makes during games generally to address issues. He's not perfect but I don't think our defense is a huge issue overall, though it's far from an elite unit right now (and yes, injuries are a HUGE part of that). That being said, his likelihood of returning is low.

He makes adjustments, something we arent accustomed to. The D has been giving up big plays in the first half, and tightening up in the second. We need an offense that can catch up to the lead the other team takes while our D figures its poo out each game.

Um sorry to bust your bubble but that happens when your offense only combines a total 5min on the field per game.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
