I don’t agree. The d-line has been unimpressive, but the coaching staff has been a far bigger disappointment. Just in this case about 5 weeks ago the nfl figured out the way to combat our dline was quick passes, and Burke has yet to make an adjustment. The 2nd biggest dissapointment has been our personal department.
Coaching staff far and away wins this dubious honor. From losing two games(bucs and raiders) due to penalties, too our offense still not knowing the offense in year two, to our oline coach doing blow, to coach Gruden calling out Gase uninspired play calling or how the team quit, to our defense completely failing dispite so much money being spent, our team has been out matched before opening kick off all season. There is no excuse for one of the highest paid NFL team to be this out classed all season. When it’s happening across the board like it has the coaching staff is for sure to blame.
Personal dept is a close second. The free agent class was an epic failure. There hasnt been one success. Larsen, Timmons, Maluga, Allen, Verner, and Cutler have hurt this team more than they have helped. TJ McDonald is the only signing that may be a success, but we even screwed that up by extending him before seeing him play one snap. Going in to the season relying on Maxwell was a crucial mistake. Wasting a 5th round pick on Anthony when he was days away from being released. Then the Jay Ajayi melt down, as we knew he didn’t fit what Gase wanted to do, but we waited till injury and inacfectiveness reduced his value at least 2 rounds, not to mention getting a 2017 pick that could have helped this season. Then the epic failure of ignoring the interior oline. It has been a catastrophic failure in the front office.
