Leslie Frazier has dealt with many distractions, from losing his middle linebacker to possible suspensions of the Williamses, yet he keeps his players focused.

PUUUUUHHHHHHHLease.........


A calming influence.
If anyone believes this defense is playing up to its potential under this cats "Calming Influence" then I feel sorry for you.

This team should be dominating on the DL especially in the "Pressure"/"Sack" area.
Instead we can't get consistent pressure unless we are at home or have a big enough lead, forcing teams into obvious passing situations, like we saw last week.

We still continue to rely on LB blitz packages and as well as some CB blitz's to keep teams off their feet when we really need to keep those two positions in the passing lanes instead of the backfield.

As to the authors point about missing players, I will give it to him with respect to EJ and Keneche but don't all teams suffer injuries and over come them?


I guess we will see what kindof "Calming Influence" he has over this team without the two stars that make him look good, much like AD makes Bevell look good I guess.
:

When/if this coaching staff gets upgraded in the offseason, this cat needs to see the door just as quickly as the Chiller, Bevel and Ferrrrrrarieoooooooo.
Of course there are probably a few yutzs out there who probably want him to be the Chillers replacement..... ;D
;D
;D
