ColoradoHusk Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm not a fan of what Stewart is doing with the secondary, but to say he's a bad coach because he isn't on the sidelines is ridiculous. There are always coaches "in the sky" in the coach's box. This is done to give the coaches another point of view, besides on the sidelines. That's probably where Stewart is during the game.

Bowfin Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Interesting report, that guy. If I knew what Stewart looked like, I would go back and watch the game and see if he can be spotted where and doing what. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Still hard for me to understand why they are coached not to look for the ball. Ahhh, I remember when the secondary was going to be the strength of the defense before the season started (there was also a lot of talk about the d-line, although I thought we were in serious trouble at DE). Anyone remember that? Now the pass defense is bad because there is no talent in the secondary. Quote Link to comment

What's really hurting the secondary is their poor positioning. Quote Link to comment

What's really hurting the secondary is their poor positioning. I agree with this, they have to be in position to see the eyes move and focus in and watch the hands start to move, if you aren't in position it doesn't matter if you look back. You can't make a play in the ball or a tackle if you are way out of position Quote Link to comment

What's really hurting the secondary is their poor positioning. Poor positioning is definitely part of it. But how many times this year have they actually been in position, not looked back, and the ball lands right in the receiver's hands? Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 This is done to give the coaches another point of view, besides on the sidelines. That's probably where Stewart is during the game. Well, if being up in the box is what's working so far, Stewart would be a fool not to keep going with that...I mean, he can always text or Facebook... Quote Link to comment

I'm not saying he's a bad coach. he might actually be a great coach (even though i didn't like the hire from the beginning). you are probably right about him being in the skybox, but to not have anyone in the DB's ears giving encouragement or correction during the game is sad and speaks to really poor leadership and a serious lack of cohesion. and that brings up another point i haven't heard addressed: I think its very likely that there are serious divisions on the staff. i honestly do not believe they are all on the same page. and the players can tell. just another reason why fans can't blame players for not buying in. coaches are not all bought in themselves.
