    We're all entitled to our opinions, and no one has said he has an ego or he doesn't have an ego.
    To me he seems he does.

    The D was the Achilles heel of this team, we'll see if it gets addressed.

    To say every single player regressed is hard to assess. If you mean they didn’t perform as well, that may be true (probably not true for every player but a lot). But does that mean they regressed as a player or was the poor performance do to the regression of some, poor defensive schemes/play calling, or both. Defenses work together as a unit, so regression in a few spots can impact the performance of other players even if they are not actually worse at their position.

    Thank you. Players were out of position and doing things they aren’t used to doing. COVID caused huge issues.

    Blaming it on Vrabels ego is silly

    All teams dealt with Covid...players were out of position because of the coaches, lack of leadership, injuries, FO decisions
    Egos or not, the staff thought Ryan and Casey wouldn't be missed, Clowney and Beasley would contribute...many decisions were made, mistakes were made...because of egos? Maybe, maybe not

    Isn't that why Mularkey was canned?

    Yes.. and defense was way down this season. We went in without a DC. It was a mistake. What Jeff Fisher had was ego. We knew it because we went 15 years with the guy. To even assume it was ego after year 3 is like i said... silly.

    The lack of DC is where the ego talk comes into play. Why didn't we have a DC or at least a guy given the title?

    I think because numerous players underperformed, it lies at the feet of the coaches more than the players.

    I truly believe it was to protect Bowen. If Vrabel was really confident in him then he would’ve gotten the title. As he didn’t get the title or succeed, it’s easier to keep him around. However, it’s starting to feel like he gets another go at it to me.

    The key word here is “assume”. There really isn’t any evidence out there that people can’t work with him because of his ego. Many of the fan writers/bloggers are feeding that fire too and have no inside knowledge and are speculating like everyone else.
