Default Rick Venturi hates Matt Ebersuck and so do I

Man just had the pleasure of listening to Rick break it down. Said for 4 years now he has watched a high school pass defense scheme get destroyed in the NFL and he's tired of it. AMEN!

Maybe we should make him a coach. But first, let's just see how he's done as a coach.

It was that Colts wrap show with Matt Taylor. He is always raggin' on Eberflus but tonight dude was raging against him. He basically said if Frank or Ballard don't get rid of him, we have no way of ever winning sh!t. A sentiment I completely agree with.

They had a stat that on only 4.9% of Lamar's passes last night had to be thrown into a tight window (and he emphasized that the NFL actually keeps that stat). That's insane, 95% of his passes were to a player that was essentially unguarded.

This staff needs to go! We're supposed to have all this defensive speed and instead of using that speed to prevent plays, we use it to try to tackle after a catch. F that!

He also does the color commentary on the Colts radio broadcast for XM. Venturi been criticizing the scene for years. Every time he is on local sports radio.

Wasn't Venturi the head coach of the Colt's a while back, and what was his record?

He was one of the early Indy Colts coaches, he was terrible. Man those first 15 or so years were rough as hell!

I mean, we still had basically Blackmon and Moore playing alongside Chesley, Sendejo, Keyes, and Odum for the entire 2nd half, and even Rodgers was playing in the first half and he's not very good either. I don't know what kind of scheme Eberflus could have run that would have been successful with those players.

I'm not necessarily saying he's a great coach, but I'm just not pinning that 2nd half defense on him.
