who is Andre Curtis?

Curtis joins the New Orleans staff after serving as defensive backs/safeties coach with the Rams from 2009-11. He came to St. Louis after spending three seasons as a defensive quality control coach with the New York Giants from 2006-08, the final two on the same staff as Spagnuolo. The Beaverdam, Va. native came to the NFL in 2006, following a six-year college coaching career, two seasons at Georgia Southern as defensive ends coach and four at his alma mater, Virginia Military Institute, where he was a four-year letterman as a linebacker from 1996-99.

That's actually a guy that could be a really good pick up, because the Rams' secondary was decimated this past season - over 10 DBs placed on IR during the season - and they still performed really well considering the talent they ended up using.

This might be the guy to finally replace Allen.

Thats incredible. Its like a LB coach succeeding while being forced to field three Scott Shanles.
