Here's another article praising Schwartz. I don't get it...
FightinTitan said:Perhaps if some of the Schwartz-haters knew something about the intricacies of football, you would appreciate Jim Schwartz as much as those who do understand the insides and outs of football do. If the insiders rave about him, you know that the guy is doing a good job with the materials he has on h and.
You mean except for when his D led the NFL in run defense in 2003, right? Boy he sucked back then...Jwill1919 said:I may not know the "ins and outs" of football[BS copout], but one thing I do know is that under Schwartz, our defense cannot stop the run
Success breeds that kind of attitude among the whole team. We aren't winning enough to generate one. The Colts D magically developed an "attitude" this year. Did Ron Meeks instantly become a better DC? Did Dungy become a better HC?and has no attitude about them.
Such as???I see other defenses with less talent and experience playing better, but most notably playing HARDER.
All defenses scheme. Do the Patriots not have schemes? Do Gregg Williams' defenses not have schemes?Schwartz doesn't get the effort out of his players as he should, there is no desperation or all 11 guys flying to the ball like absolute madmen, that is what defense is, not scheming yourself to death.

As for players flying to the ball, you have to have good athletes to do it well. We just don't have enough speed on defense. No DC can make his players faster...
Starkiller said:KVB isn't the most talented DE on our team? What are you smoking???
Starkiller said:It's not an issue of hussle. Do you think Brad Kassell isn't giving his all? Hell, just take a look at him at the end of the game today, with blood streaming down his face. But the fact is he just isn't athletic enough. He isn't a starting-caliber NFL player.
That's what Schwartz has to deal with, a bunch of guys who aren't good starters. He has 2 rookie CBs and 2 average (at best) safeties in the secondary. He's got Kassell at MLB. Sirmon hasn't played up to his 2003 form since the torn ACL. KVB is the only quality DE.
This ain't high school football out there. Coaches can only do so much in the NFL with sub-par talent. How many of our starters could start on other teams? Bulluck, KVB, and Haynesworth certainly. Starks on a few teams, perhaps. Anyone else?
KamikaZ said:I dunno. I think there is a certain level of "hustle" lost with these guys. Motivation just doesn't seem to be there as a unit, although there are guys like Jones, Bulluck, KVB, Haynes, and Kassel (like you said, he's just not that talented).....
actually, haynesworth has been one of the guys chasing plays down. i've seen him make tackles 5-10 yards down the field on a regular basis this year.paraconspiracy said:If albert haynesworth showed up with his work boots on every game all game tha man would have 15 sacks and be the most talked about guy on our D. he has hustle about 5 plays a game... when he's pissed or he thinks he could make a big play
