dg1979us said:If the defense plays heartless isnt that more on the GM and HC than the DC? Its Reeses job to get talented guys in here, and its Schwarts job to coach them. But if Reese is drafting heartless guys then there is no way to expect Schwartz to all of a sudden inspire them. Like I said, we have been a contender under Schwartz, but when cap mismanagement strips him of any resemblence of talent, then blame Reese, who has not drafted well the last few years it seems to me.
You're basically saying that if Schwartz had a defence of All-Pro's he would be good... well duh!! What makes a good coach is the ability to make good players out of average material.
I looked a little at the avg. of starters on the Colts defence and they compare pretty well to the Titans:
Titans: 2.5 years experience, 2.6 round pick + 2 free agents + 1 UDFA
Colts: 3 years experience, 2.7 round pick + 2 free agents + 1 UDFA
So either we draft crappy players consistently or we just don't get enough out of them.
