Last week I ripped on the offense because the HC hired a group of buddies who had very little CFL experience. Today's game showed the defense is similarly ill-equiped with regard to any kind of coaching expertise. I have to assume that the DC has some say into personnel decisions and the revolving door secondary has been a big problem all year. Obviously there is some talent on the defense, but the schemes and tactics are not working. Coach O'Neil is obviously over his head and the fans have had to live with his learning on the job this year. That's the sad truth. His success in NFL Europe means nothing when it comes to the three-down version of football.
I think Coach Taaffe may be a good HC, but he inherited a good staff in Montreal and hasn't show the ability to build a staff here yet.
There are NFL cuts out there, so get a stud import to help the pass rush and maybe some of the secondary problems will resolve themselves.
Thank god we have Casey, because now I have a reason to use the rest of my season tickets.
