Pagano isn't as much of an issue as some of you people think he is....
the run game would be bad no matter who we got as a DC because goldman is out. We don't really have a nose tackle.....
In the pass game, he's dealt with one of the worst safeties in the league this year(Eddie Jackson), and one of the worst slot cb's in the league(Skrine), all the while having some of the least pressures in the league thanks to a terrible signing of robert quinn and having zero good pass rushing depth really.
You can blame the coaches, but at some point, someone besides mack/fuller/quan have to ball out on that defense.
Eddie Jackson has been terrible, outside of JJ and fuller we have no corners really. There is zero pass rush. We cant stop the run.
Its not really scheme guys...
