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.

    • Care to elaborate why you disagree? We kicked the ball off 3 times and we kept the Browns to starting field position of the 22, 27, and 10 (would have been 21 before a penalty). All 3 of those are successes with the modern kickoff rule.
    • Its August so obviously quality options are not there. The question is whether any improvement can be made to the bottom of the depth chart.
    • NFL has a huge amount of parity.  The talent level between most NFL starters outside of the top 5 to 10 guys at a position is very comparable.  2020 worst teams Jacksonville Jaguars - 1-15 (worst record in NFL) New York Jets - 2-14 Cincinnati Bengals - 4-11-1 Atlanta Falcons - 4-12 Houston Texans - 4-12 Carolina Panthers - 5-11 Detroit Lions - 5-11 Philadelphia Eagles - 4-11-1 Los Angeles Chargers - 7-9 Denver Broncos - 5-11 2024 Worst teams New York Giants - 3-14 (tied for worst) Cleveland Browns - 3-14 (tied for worst) Tennessee Titans - 3-14 (tied for worst) New England Patriots - 4-13 Carolina Panthers - 5-12 Jacksonville Jaguars - 4-13 Las Vegas Raiders - 4-13 New York Jets - 5-12 Chicago Bears - 5-12 Arizona Cardinals - 8-9 Bengals, Texans, Lions, Eagles, Broncos and the Jags have all made the the playoffs in the last 3 years. What I'm saying is it's stupid to argue when team is the worst when there is so much parity and the system allows quick turnarounds.
