I must have stated that we will have an elite defense this season 100 times prior to the season actually starting.  Please neg me into oblivion.  This is fucking ridiculous.  We won't win again this season.

Agreed.

I never wanted to be "negative', but to this day, I've NEVER.....NEVER.....NEVER understood ALL THEY HYPE he got as a DB.

His 6 interceptions that season were almost exclusively all "bad throws" by the QB.

The Ann Arbor News guys claimed that he was good at "baiting the QBs into making poor throws", well, fine, but that's also what BAD PLAYERS do, unintentionally.

I've just ALMOST NEVER seen Black Countess truly make a great play on the ball, and the ration of HIM GETTING BEAT to great break-ups? Psssshhh, not good....

He's tiny, he's mediocre strength, he's not fast, his hips are above average, and he does tend to wrap up well, but c'mon, "wrap up"??? a TRULY GOOD defensive-back will NEVER BE PRAISED for "wrapping up", because a TRULY GOOD defensive-back never even let's things get THAT FAR....

Track record is good... But do you really want a coach that has bot fielded that well of a team the last few years in my opinions, and is getting murdered? Its an honest question... Not being a troll. I wanted les miles a few years ago but now, im not sure about him.
