FFS end this now Joseph’s gotta go. Pathetic
Bahahahahahahhha. Maybe the most self-contradicting post I’ve ever read lol. Keep up the good work.Kingsbury hasn't done squat yet as a HC. You are your record. As a OC his made an improvement but the bar is low being the worst offense the year prior and spending most of the draft capital on offense.
Arians assembled his own crew, not Keim and it wasn't like he found Arians in obscurity. There was all sorts of talk of him getting a shot at HC after his interim performance.

Care to explain
Pretty sure a lot of people are calling for both.Joseph obviously needs to be fired ASAP. This pass defense is on the verge of setting records for futility, and he seems to have the same failed gameplan for every game.
However, the lack of defensive talent on this team cannot be overstated. Who is Keim's best defensive draft pick? Baker, who has now gone almost 3 YEARS without an INT. Badger? Golden? Both are playing for other teams already. Murphy has shown some promise, but he has been pretty average as far as rookie CBs go.
16 players recorded defensive stats today. Only 5 of them were drafted by Keim, and none of them were the 3 defensive players he drafted in the first round over the past 6 years. This is not normal. No successful team can survive this level of ineptitude. The fact that more people aren't calling for Keim's job at this point is frankly shocking. Vance is bad, but Keim is debilitatingly destructive.
There is plenty of talent on this defense to succeed.
Lol. Some of the common themes on this board are laughable. Buddha Baker and Hicks are both very good, above average starters. We have the best pass rusher in the NFL. We have strong veteran leadership. This crap d will likely have 4 guys in the Pro Bowl and would’ve had 5 if 21 wasn’t a cheater and our DC could hike his skirt up and play man occasionally. Corey Peters is a legit starter. Suggs is no longer a PB’er but he’s a legit starter. So is Brock as a nickel. It’s late in the season. Everyone can’t be a star and every team has injuries. To blame this on lack of talent is a joke.
Or not.Scheme, not talent? Could be.

What I know is this...our players do not have a clue where they are going and who they should be covering. IMO, that is coaching. You either can't translate the message or you can't identify players who get it. Maybe this is outside of Vance's control. Maybe Keim is forcing him to play certain players.
All I know is that I can stomach getting beat because we don't have enough talent.
I can stomach getting beat because we have to blitz to generate pressure.
What is tough for me to stomach is no defensive identity and players not knowing where they need to be.
If I am Kilff, I would go up to Micheal (screw Keim and his backed in illogical corner) and say get rid of Joseph because my career has no hope with him controlling the defense
Like I said in another thread, I can literally ID where teams are going with the ball on almost any play.
Joseph's defense is the worst kind of defense: a soft zone defense that gives the offense tons of room to catch passes and run for YAC. Rarely do you see DBs in the receivers face challenging them. I'd much rather a DB get beat doing that then watch how often you see completely open receivers catch easy passes.
I watched this game with a Rams fan, and I told him I probably saw ONE difficult pass from Goff all game long.
