Wade seems like a player's coach, a likable old sage that's a father figure (or grandfather) to most of these guys. Sure, he has 40 years of coaching experience, but at some point, don't we have to start holding him accountable for this terrible defense filled with players who have starred elsewhere? Where are the unique looks, the exotic blitzes, the pressure on the quarterback that we should be generating? Where has Brockers gone the last month? Suh? Why have I seen, game after game, plays where the opposing running back runs right into the 4 or 5 hole and we don't even have a linebacker in the gap? How do two Eagle receivers get past our secondary on the same play for a game-changing play? How does Peters stand and watch a guy run into the end zone from five yards out? Where is the discipline on this unit?
There was a drive in the Eagles game, at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth, where the Eagles simply ran or passed for 5-8 yards every play while our defense just stood there and watched them drive down the field. Wade's bend-but-don't-break defense is getting this team beat. Forget Jared and the offense, I have faith they'll fix their issues. They've proven that they can be a first-class unit in this league. So far, I haven't seen anything like that from our defense. It's time Wade takes a look at his scheme and players and makes a few changes.
