I just hate the idea of the guy who screwed up the D being responsible to fix it.

If I go in for a tonsilectomy and the doctor takes my kidney out by mistake, Im sorry Im not going back to him. Minor screw ups fine. But this is colossal.

Are u referring to ash? In my opinion freeman has more blame. This is his plan and team.

Ash may be having a hard time make it happen but I think freeman was the one behind the strategic shift

Well, whoever did it. They literally had to do nothing but the same thing.

Doesn't look like anybody is fessing up. And I can't imagine none of these guys know how to teach fundamentals and execution like Golden did. It has to be a shift in scheme. But they are still dancing around whether a change occurred.

Either way, they've now had what 4 weeks to fix the problem. If they're still banging their heads against the wall, we have a coaching personnel problem.

Fully agree. I am not defending ash, I just see freeman at a minimum complicit and maximum

The real reason behind the switch to fix what really wasn’t broken.

Ash may be collateral damage but I see a HC who is beyond frustrated.

I wonder what’s going on behind the scenes. It’s not like we didn’t have a good defensive staff other than golden. Would love to hear Mickens take on this disaster

Put in some zone. Learn it really well and execute it. Play it aggressively like Dungy's Tampa 2 teams But to go wirh this passive zone, that just seems suicidal.

For sure, if this was approved by Freeman it's his baby. Seems like the AD needs to have a discussion. Which one of you knuckleheads came up with this? OK, boys experiment is over, let's play defense.
