Gosh I hate that phrase, "hot take".
But here's an opinion that I'm considering having: if our defense gets shredded again today... like it did vs. the Rams... I think Zim should be on a very short leash. After all the money poured into that side of the ball... and his fingerprints are all over it... there should not be any excuse for our defense looking better today. I'm not saying we "should" win... but we had better look better (defensively) than we have the past few weeks. If he can't get it together now... then maybe he's no longer the right guy for the job. At the very least, he should fire himself as DC and turn it over to someone else.
If the defense shows up today and plays well- even in a loss- I think he should be off the hook (for awhile). And if they show up and dominate the Eagles and we win handily... then I'll admit that I never really believed what I was saying because only an idiot would doubt Zim. Or I'll admit that I'm just a dumb fan like everyone else. But at least I'll be a HAPPY fan!
