Re: Del Rio Fired

It won’t change much since Ron isn’t any better but at least it shows the owners care

Agreed. Read this post from Harris: https://twitter.com/Commanders/statu...83012179435570

First time I heard the ownership acknowledge there was a problem with the product. I wasn't buying what Punch was believing that next year would be better, but at least now I know we have a shot at a better defensive coordinator next year. Still not sold RR isn't back until I hear it or ownership suggests his performance needs to improve or else. But at least this is the third step in the right direction.

This. Ron calling the defense doesn't do much good, but I do like that new ownership is aware this still matters to some of us, that they're not going "meh, this team is a mess anyway, we'll have a look at it later".

Also like that the DB coach was fired. I somewhat still sense this secondary isn't as atrocious as they have been playing...

A little too late but yes. Something had to be done.

Brent Vieselmeyer fired too (he was DB's coach replacing Chris Harris).

Not sure it's gonna change anything but the calls for blood were getting too loud to ignore.

Exactly. It has been obvious for weeks (years imo) that this staff was a detriment. At this point , now or in January is the exact same thing. But like I said. One step gone and many more to go so it is still progress. Timing is just meaningless.

You need to think of it as Christmas as a child. Every gift has a purpose. You start with a big one (new owner), then as other people open gifts you get a small one (extra draft picks), just when the agony is getting to much as there is a lull in action you get another small one (firing of the inept DC). Eventually you will get the thing you wanted for Christmas a rebuild.

Trust me B-More it has been Christmas since Dan left. Even after our 2 and 0 start I was preaching patience and looking forward to 2024. I knew all along this season was going to be a disaster.

In this case though it is like we started opening gifts and I got a stocking stuffer. Had this happened four weeks ago id have considered it an actual present.
