I don't hate anyone. I think he is a decent recruiter that can't prep his room. The front 7 generated one less sack and 9 more QB hurries than the 2015 defense which is what everyone on here considers an outstanding defense. The pass defense was legitimately the worst in the last 10 years. There are no scheme changes to blame or mid season firings. It's all Walters.

Who exactly was going to hire him away two years ago after the product he helped put on the field? He proved he couldn't coach Read 2. He has now proven that he can't get these guys ready to play C2 and Man1 vs any P5 team with a pulse.

The starters at DE in 2015 finished with 14 sacks and 30 TFL. The starting DL finished with 80% of the sacks and QB pressures.

2018 starters at DE finished with 2 sacks and 5 TFL. Even if you include any DE that started those numbers only go up to 5.5 sacks and 12 TFL. Obviously the DT position was more disruptive this season.

If the pressure numbers are close to the 2015 it’s not really because the DL was great, and more because the coaches put together some pretty good blitz packages.

Though those blitzes put the DBs in way more high pressure situations, which they weren’t good at.
