DC Frank Bush a Disaster so far

[popanot]

Ok, here's the deal... If it's not the coaching then it's the players, right? Who drafts the players, chooses/signs free agents, chooses who's on the roster and which players play? What kills me is I have not heard any of the pundits who say its the players calling out Kubiak or Smith for their draft day acquisitions. Most people say they've done an admirable job on draft day. If these players are so bad, then we're screwed and in for a another 5+ years of mediocrity.

IMO, there are other teams out there that have the same or less talent on defense than the Texans do but play much better. What gives? I find it hilarious that someone in the organization (*cough* Kubiak) decided to go with a defense that relies so heavily on the weakest link, yet, hasn't invested any serious draft picks or FA money to that area. On the field of play, if they're counting on the Safeties to consistently make plays to stop the run, then something is seriously wrong up front.

Toss aside the player issue for a moment... Isn't it the responsibility of the coaching staff to make adjustments? Forget in-game adjustments because other than replacing a player or two here and there, that's way too complex and asking way too much of this staff (it's been 3 weeks in a row the opposing team has taken the 2nd-half kickoff and rammed it down their throat). We've seen 4 preseason and 3 regular season games of this crap! You'd think by now they'd see something is not working and adjust accordingly. Your new "aggressive" scheme is getting torched??? Then rush 3 or 4 and drop more into coverage. Try some run blitzes... Go back to a less aggressive bend-and-hopefully-not-break scheme... Try Rhodes at DC... I don't know, but do something!

Personally, I think it's a combination of both - the coaching and players. However, I'm still of the opinion that if we had a top DC, you'd see a much better defense. A great defense??? Maybe not, but a much better one. I hope they can turn it around or it's gonna be a looooong season and we'll be talking draft by Thanksgiving - again!!
