[QUOTE="Thaillini22, post: 1969541, member: 746046"] I really don't think had we kept Walters -- or had a "non-experimental DC" -- that we'd have had a much better season. Yes, perhaps Henry didn't perform to the level of a good/great DC, but there are a lot of reasons we were an average team this season (and yes, I know 6-6 would truly define "average" here). Injuries on defense contributed, youth/inexperience contributed, boneheaded penalties, absence of the turnover fairy (certainly compared to last season), special teams miscues... this all contributed to being 5-7. I wish we won today, I wish we won the West, but we are an average team with many flaws, so we didn't. But we didn't lose any 63-0 bed crappers, either. What do people legitimately think our record would have been with Walters at the helm of the D this year? [/QUOTE]
