[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 982806, member: 17987"] It's kind of veering OT for this particular thread but this is the big thing for me. When considering personnel decisions it's easy to look and say "Player X has been down this year" and take that to mean they should be moved/not extended/etc on an individual level. But I think we also have to consider the larger context. In general...if one player is playing "down" then it's probably on the player (or at least some circumstances specifically relating to the individual). But if multiple players on a given unit are "down" then I typically find it rather unlikely that each one of them are *individually* trending downward. In those situations I think that's more reflective of coaching. And so when we look at our defense I think we can simply ask: How many players are playing "up" and how many players are playing "down?" At the moment I would wager the "down" outweighs the "up," which to me suggests an issue with the coaching of that particular unit. Obviously there are cap considerations to take into account and sometimes you simply can't afford to bring back a given player even if you think it's not their "fault" but I would be hesitant to make any significant and/or large-scale changes to our defensive personnel when IMO the issue is not entirely on the players themselves...
