Big questionso do we run it back with Wink? His defenses are solid but not spectacular. I think the defense under achieved last year and was just ok this year. Wouldn’t be sad to see him walk.
What about Sherrone? Gotta give him one more year right?
I'd run it back with Wink. I think he's doing the best he can with what he has. The defense gradually gets stronger throughout the year and our offense isn't doing the defense any favors. We didn't have the personnel we've had in the past on defense. A game like yesterday you NEED your leading tackler. I like the NFL schemes, so when we do part ways we need to continue to get NFL guys.
The biggest need in the offseason is a game changing WR, or a possession/slot receiver. The offense has to get better. Bryce will be better. Year 2 he'll be able to go through his progressions more. The offensive line should be dominate Babalola will be back.
I don't think Sherrone is on the hot seat either. Sherrone has done a lot for the program that I think people forget. He's young and he's growing. He has shown the ability to win big games and recruit. The grass isn't always greener. We could end up returning to the time period between Lloyd carr and Harbaugh. The whole staff was gutted last year and coming off drafting 13 players, a program record. Left us with no playmakers on offense, no coaching staff. I know people don't want to hear it but our young players are still developing. We can't compare this moment in time to teams that had 13 draft picks and was historically the best team we've ever had. He makes some mistakes like leaving Semaj in too long, but did eventually find Marsh.
I don't think we had great pass rushers. Moore is good but not twitchy. Doesn't have bend.
Barham was vastly overrated. Without being able to pressure with just 4 it gave QB plenty of time to attack our young secondary. So I'm not sure what to do with Wink. Not his biggest fan. He blitzes way too much at times.
Who is out there to replace Wink?
Man it was weird like he had more of an impact at LB than EDGE. At first it was like EDGE seemed like a great move. But he was quiet the second half the year with explosive plays it seemed.
