Are they letting him do the play calling right now.  If so that does explain a little.

See, now the way I see it, play calling on defense isn't nearly as important as on offense. It's more about responsibilities and fundamentals. Someone calling different plays isn't going to change the fact that a guy consistently takes the wrong angle when trying to make a tackle short of the first down. It's not going to change the fact that the offense can bunch receivers together and safely bet on a lack of communication by the DBs. The defense is almost on auto pilot in the worst possible way.

That said, the defense looked like a hot mess all the way down to the very basics of defensive football. The question is, is it a simple lack of talent? Bad coaching? Lack of in your face on the field leadership? Is there anybody on the field calling people out on defense?

I agree with what you said.  That is why I said a little because it is not the only reason.  I blame coaching, communication, and talent up the middle.  I can not speak about leadership but I hope someone is speaking up at some point about the missed plays.

Carrie doing his best Sean Smith impression today.

He's actually doing his best TJ Carrie impression.

Dude hasn't impressed at CB since his rookie year. I don't know why some think he's anything but average at best. A rookie came in and ate his lunch money. Goff targeted whoever he was covering.
