And to be honest, we don't even know if Phillips or Holland will be game changers. Holland looked completely lost today. Missed tackles, blown assignments. Our two highest paid corners (top 3 in salary) got burned all day today. Baker looks like he took a step back.
1. Flores needs to address both coordinators especially Boyer. His defense looks terrible. No turnovers and they can't get off the field. two areas where they were ELITE last year. Concerning the offense, the two coordinator crap needs to be bagged and pick one and let him ride.
2. Yes, Tua being injured makes a difference. I do like Tua. Is he has good as Herbert? Obviously not but there is still time for Tua. He's accurate, he protects the ball and doesn't make any catastrophic plays. He's 8-5, 12-6 TD/INT ratio and 63% completions. That's not bad. Just not as good as Herbert and that's who Tua is compared to fair or not. But with a healthy set of playmakers: Waddle, Fuller, Parker, Wilson, and Gesicki could be special.
3. They have no running game. I like Gaskin on passing downs and out of the backfield, but for Tua to be special, he needs something of a running game.
4. Chris Grier. I hate him.
