It is just that simple.
Sideline to sideline linebackers and at least 1 that can run with a tightend.
Corners that can look back and make a play on the ball instead of cat-fighting
with the receiver after the ball whizzes past their ear hole.
A solid pass rusher that can force coverage to less than 5 seconds.
All the coaching in the world is useless without talent to execute the plan.
Doesn't matter whether it's 4-3 or 3-4 when you have players that make plays.

No. He's a defensive coordinator nothing more. If we bring a defensive minded coach in our D may get better but our offense surely won't. We have had the number one or top 3 offenses every year Payton has been here. It wouldn't be that way with any other coaches not named Bellichek or whatever.

And it all starts with Ireland. So far so good with him. Going forward will he be the Cowboys Ireland or the Dolphins.

SON OF BUM DC?
 

Denver is going to hire a new coach. I WOULD LOVE to have son of Bum?

Re: Wade Phillips
 

FIFY

Re: Wade Phillips
 

Exactly.

It's this see-sawing back and forth that has players guessing where to line up and what their assignment is.

The time to hire Wade Phillips was last season when he wasn't available. Or perhaps four years ago when we hired Rob Ryan.

Re: SON OF BUM DC?
 

Whoever becomes the new HC in Denver would be really, really, really stupid to let Phillips go, and that is, should Phillips decline the HC position, which will be offered to him.

Re: Wade Phillips
 

and some healthy linemen, and some healthy linebackers, and some healthy safeties...

and a linebackers coach...

Re: SON OF BUM DC?
 

Putting the coaching carousel aside, I just watched the press conference with Kubiak and man you have to feel for Gary and the Broncos. You can tell Gary doesn't want to leave but feels the health just isn't going to allow him to coach anymore. Best of luck to Gary, he seems like a classy individual.
