McDermott is not going to throw Frazier under the bus.  He skirted that question.  He's taken over the play calling duties.  The defense has been an absolute mess with Frazier this year.  Has any team allowed 100% of the opponents to score TD's in the redzone for the first 6 quarters of a season?  Has that ever happened in the history of the game?

Sounds like Frazier is staying.

 

Based on the difference in defensive play after McD took over the play calling, it would suggest that Frazier is good at coming up with a defensive scheme and preparing the players, but he's not a good play-caller. If McD can call the plays and they keep performing like they did in the second half yesterday, that arrangement could work.

After a dismal defensive performance in the first half, McD took over the defensive play-calling in the second half, where they held the Chargers to only 3 points.

 

 

 

The first half was worse. The second half was better. It was like watching two different defenses out there.

 

 

 

They couldn't stop a nose bleed in the first half.

This is probably the reality here and hopefully Frazier is on board.

Quick Hits: McDermott Addresses LeSean McCoy’s Status

 

It’s hard to know if it’s a better outcome than first reported, but head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that LeSean McCoy suffered cracked rib cartilage when he was tackled in Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

 

“He’s going to be day to day,” said McDermott of McCoy.

 

There were erroneous reports on Monday that McCoy suffered cracked ribs, but those were corrected later in the day.

 

As for McCoy’s availability for Sunday’s game in Minnesota, that will be determined through the course of the week.

 

Special teamer Taiwan Jones meanwhile escaped his scary head injury with just a gash on his head and some bruises after he was struck by a Chargers player in the head after his helmet came off.

 

“No concussion,” said McDermott of Jones. “He’s bruised and cut up a little bit,”

 

The gash on Jones’ head did require stitches, which could make wearing a helmet difficult, but McDermott said they’ll work through those logistics as the week moves along.

 

Play calling on defense to be determined

Cornerback position still to be addressed
