John Scott Jr: New AHC, Defensive run game coordinator and DL Coach

I really think that after Angeli got hurt there was nothing that could work. Different blame game but in all seriousness I think “they should have come up with something” is the wrong problem statement.

When people get hurt in the NFL, you adjust. Yes, the quality of players you have is better, but still, if you lose your quarterback, and the backup doesn't throw as well, you run RPO, you lean on the run game. You install some new plays. There are things you can do. All we saw was a total team breakdown.

We didn't just lose the QB. We also lost the best Big WR, the best TE was hurt much of the year. Much of the oline was hurt, down to the 3rd center, Our best RB was hurt, Most of the best of the WR core was injured.

You pretty much see a breakdown at the NFL level in many situations when the QB goes down. Not all of course but it can have as big an impact on an NFL team as it did us.
