Bellamy is one of the worst players I've ever seen. If he's not nowhere near anyone in coverage, he's taking a terrible angle on the running back. He also seems like one of the slowest players on our team. Needless to say, I'm not a big fan.

If we're going to fire the special teams coach, let's just fire the special teams too while we're at it. Jeebus, we are terrible. Our crappy linebackers aren't helped when the other team gets to start from the 40 every time.

Keeping with the hate of our special teams, isn't Zook a former ST coach? So we could use the ST coach position for a "real" QB coach for Juice and Zook just takes over as ST coach.

And "u know who" didnt get to the outside on that TD run...rather he was pu$$y footing around in the middle of the field.

Why does it seem like our safeties (whoever they are) are always out of position? Hardeman got caught inside on that TD run when he seemingly should have been running to the outside to string it along.
God, our fundamentals seem terrible.

It's nice to see that a team struggling to return kicks beyond the 20 is, against us, getting them past the 40 every time.
Last year, win or lose, we looked like a good football team. This year, we look like a bad one. I don't understand how coaches can be effective one year and fail miserably the next.
