Players Frustrated With O'Neil?
-
As a Yankee fan I can tell you highest paid doesn't equal most talented. Not one team in the entire NFL would trade a 4th rounder for Kruger or Haden and they make a ton of money. Until I hear a Karlos Dansby at his locker say, "this scheme is making us ineffective" I put zero stock into pundits opinions.

It seems to be one of those where theres smoke theres fire things. There have been a lot of tidbits here and there about O'Neil and the players attitude towards him. Plenty has also been written on his unwillingness to adapt his schemes to our players skills. I think these things are true and show on the field. Friends or not sometimes as the top dog you have to make tough calls. Pettine should have likely already fired him IMO.

Anyone who puts continues to put defensive lineman/ rush OLB in coverage after being burned on it all season ought to be fired. Here's my totally unsubstantiated take. Our D was better last year because Pettine was running it directly. This year, he handed it off to O'Neil, who figures he wants to make a name for himself as a D coordinator which he can't do if just does exactly what Pettine did last year, so he decides to "innovate" which leads to idiotic moves like dropping Kruger and Bryant into coverage. Where good coaches put their players in a position to succeed, O'Neil puts the players in a position to fail.
I bet we saw Kruger rush the passer so much last night as a result of intervention by Pettine. Pettine needs to take the next step and fire O'Neil and take over the D for the rest of the season. I don't think he will, though, because he is blinded by his loyalty to him.

Quite possible and long overdue intervention...
Firing? Really a case where the HC needs to consult with the leaders on D. If not only O'Neil has lost the room, but also it is irrecoverable... then yes, boot him. But if it is really a matter of X's and O's... then there's a chance O'Neil can be salvaged.
The problem with the latter though, is how did Pet allow it to get so far off the rails?

My guess is Pettine is loyal to a fault. Would rather give O'Neil too many chances to turn it around than undercut him by intervening. That and Pettine seems slow to adjust in about everything.
