I’m not completely absolving Reich of responsibility, but Ballard has IMO played a major role in the slow starts as well. The constant QB carousel and the constant focus on development instead of achievement are major factors. Last season was nothing but an extended training camp for young DEs. They didn’t earn their spots, they were gifted them by the lack of available options. It appears the same is happening at WR and TE this year. Veterans have a value that Ballard refuses to see, so the early season is simply an extension of training camp to see who rises to the top. Fuck, they are rotating players at LT now. You don’t fucking do that if you have a solution at the position. Especially not at fucking LT. Not to mention the shit at PK.
