As a coach, if his tactics weren't getting through, you'd think he would do something about it. This just sounds like an excuse to me. Every single player (except maybe gilmore) regressed on the defense. I don't think that's a coincidence and/or that each one of them didn't learn the playbook. Rex lost his balls around the same time he stopped being fat. Not that one has to do with the other. Just an observation. He only seemed to game plan for division games this year.
