I know it's the time of year to try and feel better, but did you notice when we lost key players I Rex's defense, we really felt it too?! That was one of a few excuses Rex used. Also, Rex has had the likes of Ray Lewis mo Wilkerson to name a few. He has always had dominant player to implement his d. He also had a high number of early draft picks on d w the jets and that d still struggled at the end of his tenure. To say Rex succeeded without dominant players or doesn't need dominant players is wrong imo. Marenelli(sp) in Dallas did more with less talent. Let's trade Marcell and Hughes for a couple of average Joes and see what happens. This Rex koolaid is pretty sweet today. I agree it's not so much that he asks them to drop into coverage, but it sounds like he was the wrong coach for this team at the time he was hired. Now it's too late to turn back and must find the right olbs, and an ilb.
