Hey Nate,
in your 'conversations with Clouse' from yesterday, you'd written:

"The back end of the defense was being asked to do things that didn't always make sense last year. Guys like Gifford took the brunt of the criticism even though he was doing what he was told and often put in situations that were "no-win" at best."

the context here is that we had two coaches with non-complimentary schemes.
is this a fairly common/accepted opinion held by several/many in the know?
is this just your take?

i find this an amazing situation for us to have operational in our schemes. how the hell is it possible? this is disturbing to me.
guess i'd rather think our poor play was the result of missed assignments or just extraordinary effort by the enemy team - with more talent or desire.
to have it be a result of coaches building into the equation incompatible approaches is something else entirely. how the hell can that happen and why wouldn't HCMR notice this and correct it in like, 2 plays?

if you prefer to keep Sunday conversations in the Sunday conversations thread, then i'll wait for your reply this weekend. but dayum. that is nuts. but then, often our play was nuts - so . . .
@Nate Clouse
GBR!!!
