IMO SOLID hire.

I was high on Todd back before Payton hired Ryan.

Don't be surprised to see our DT group look a lot different in 2023 & beyond.

We should be fine now that we've hired Ryan Nielsen's replacement. Dennis Allen probably doesn't feel the need to fill those other vacant spots he's created.

So you aren't expecting anymore defensive coaching hires?

Honestly? I don't know what to expect from them anymore.

Instead of the offense getting a make over it's the defense which wasn't the glaring problem to begin with. I think the problem is that the DC in New Orleans won't get to call his own plays. Who would take that job? The position is hand cuffed to DA and his system. It's a scenario that limits interest from the better candidates.

We already have one of the very best defensive playcallers in the NFL in Dennis Allen. Why replace him in that job?
