    Yes, Chow did utilize his personnel. How else do you explain the fantastic season by the TE's. The problem offensively was mostly due to a veteran O-line underperforming.

    Schwartz on the other hand has had several years to implement his system and half of the players (12) have had 3 or more years experience with it, 8 were second year players and 5 were rookies (including KVB).
    In the starting lineup the distribution was 6 players with +3 years experience, 2 with 2 years and 3 rookies (KVB included). You'd expect them to perform better.

    RCarie, you make my head hurt when debating. As I said, I wasn't making any excuses for Chow, I still feel he did a better job in his first year than Schwartz did in his 5th. I also said if this happens again with our offense, I will be calling for Chow's head, just as I am Schwartz'.

    As for players that have been here 4+ years on D; Beckham, Boiman, Bulluck, Haynesworth, Kassell, Long, Sirmon, Lamont, Tank.

    When I say no significant injuries, did we have any this year besides losing Haynesworth for his usual 1-4 games, was that any surprise anyway? Did our best defensive player get hurt(Bulluck)? Did we have a season ending injury to one of our main Corners?? did we lose a safety? did we lose our best pass rusher? the only players that contribute on this team defensively are new players that haven't been poisoned by Schwartz.

    ************************REMINDER*************************
    If Chow blows like this for 2 more years, I will be the first to call for his head. How much time do you think Schwartz deserves showing no progress and not being able to develop a single draft pick? I don't think he should be able to hurt this team any further, but that is just my opinion.

    They were the only ones that Mcnair trusted to throw to. Do you think all those plays are designed to go to the TE. That must be why we throw the ball 5yds to a TE on third down when we need 8 or 9 yards. Had we had one single reciever that was worth a squirt of piss I'd say the TE's wouldn't have had, what you would say to be, a good year.

    13 players in their 1st or 2nd year haven't had much time to learn any system. I can't believe none of them went to the pro-bowl.

    You say you don't make excuses but yet you have an entire paragraph of excuses in you post. You can go back and look for yourself and tell me you aren't making excuses. Sure looks that way.

    IMHO anyone trying to say Schwartz gets the most out of what talent his players have is barking up the wrong tree. Certainly we have issues on both ends, coaching and talent. Still, Swartz doesn't impress me as a DC that can make the right calls at the right times during a game and his schemes are not something to write home about. Our defense NEVER plays with much of an attitude either and we always seem to be back on our heels instead of dictating the game.

    I don't think anyone is saying Schwartz is getting the most out of his players I'm just saying there's more to it then just him. He isn't the entire reason for our D, sucking. He can certainly improve as can the rest of the team. Fisher needs to see to it that there are improvements made. Its on his shoulders.

    In light of recent Pacman events, I am hoping Fisher will take a "no ****" attitude towards players and coaches.

    They gotta shape up or ship out.
