I have been hugely disappointed with the Defensive play of the EE but I'm not sure it's all on Benevides. I mean seriously, do we have even 1 player capable of man coverage. Every time we abandon zone there are multiple open targets for opposition qb's.
Then we complain that our 4 / 5 man rush can't put immediate pressure on. To me the major issue is the skill level of the db's who frankly are mediocre at best.
Benevides can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I know the new leagues will make it even tougher to sign real talent at our price point but that's the GM's job FFS and it's time for him to put up or move on.
