Also have to throw in, later was asked about Dak and his play and possibly wasting a healthy season, said (again) he was happy with Schottenheimer and his staff and how they've changed things to get the ball out of Dak's hands faster, and how that protects him "better than in his first five or six years."

Is that a semi-shot at his golden boy Garrett? :towel

Well if this is true, then lets go out giving up about 40+ per game.
Yeah, that's the one concern, that you artificially look good by "holding down" some awful teams in NY and Washington.

But even as dumb and delusional as he can be, I think he might get that. He sounded pretty negative and grouchy.

Listening to the Jerry interview today, I think Eberflus is toast:

1. Started out saying he was relatively happy with the offense this year
2. Talked about the problems at linebacker and the green dot getting things lined up and communicated
3. Asked if the last three games will determine if Eberflus is back, basically (without in so many words) said yes
4. Asked if the players just didn't fit ME's scheme, said coaches have to adapt to players, and that we did have the players here who fit well enough.
Number 4 is key, Eberflus has his scheme and that's that, no adjusting.

If I had to guess the "5 down" stuff came from Schottenheimer.

At any rate, I hope our defense looks like complete shit the last 3 games just to guarantee he's out the door.

Rigid scheme is one thing, but that rigid scheme is also just shit.

Who's buying those groceries? Oh, right.

Of course that's the biggest issue, but what other choice is there? Either keep everything the same or change some things and hope they get lucky. I'll take change because if I have to watch this defense again next year I'm going to gouge my eyes out.
