many winning seasons! I'm tired of the excuses. Let me count the ways about your D the last four years...

Tired of it. They have to change this whole thing after this year. What a disgrace. Excuses after excuses the past four years.
Too many mental errors, poor tackling and way too many WR's wide open.
Thats always been the case with him.
What does this even mean?
What did you want to see more of today? Man coverage? We got beat line a drum playing man coverage routinely. Blitzes? Even when a guy like Demps has a free lane to the QB he whiffs.
We are completely depleted at CB, we have one good safety, our OLB's are totally suspect and our front 4 can't get to the QB.
I'd love to know what some of you guys think the answer is. Sometimes the personnel just isn't good enough.
I wonder if Dan Quinn over in Seattle forgot how to coach defense or if his talent level simply isn't what it was last year.
We cant use the same excuses game after game for him. He put Fenner on Bryant. He put Jenkins in coverage, he played that goddamn soft zone when the Cowboys were reeling. His blitzes get home once every 4 weeks.
The excuses have run dried. Its time to face fact that he may not be a good coordinator.
It's not even about Fewell. People just think coaches have far more impact than the personnel. Going into this year, I liked who we had. Then we lost Thurmond, then DRC got banged up, then we lost McBride, Beason has never been healthy, etc.
How come the Seahawks defense isn't scaring anyone anymore and keep getting 30 points dropped on them ? Is it Quinn or is it their personnel?
We can fire Fewell and hire someone else and we'll get similarly crappy results.
The awful talent pool that Reese has provided is exacerbated by poor coaching.

The defense didn't contribute to the superbowl run? They shutout Atlanta (only a safety), held Green Bay to 20, San Fran to 17 and New England to 17. Yeah they sucked. Fucking idiot.
Fewell's got his flaws, but he is by no means a bad DC.
You'll all be "VERY happy" until you realize the defense won't get much better until the personnel does.
And again, people like you don't quite understand how defense works. Fewell didn't call in a play where Fenner was supposed to shadow Dez Bryant. He called for man coverage and had Fenner playing in the slot as the Nickel CB. Guess where Dez lined up?
Like I said. Everyone loves man coverage until a shitty CB gets singled up on a superior WR and gets torched.
Also, the Seahawks also gave up 30 points to the Cowboys last week. So I guess Dan Quinn is as clueless as Perry Fewell. Or maybe his personnel isn't quite as great as it was last year.
