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.

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

We need more talented defensive coaches.

Wade Phillips is great... But didn't we just try changing to a 3-4 defense only for Payton to change his mind and want to be the Seahawks?

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.

Who says we can't have both?

The Dude · 01-02-2017, 08:25 PM

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.

Wade Phillips?
Hell Yes... If you can get him, its a no brainer.

Anyone else remember his interim stint as our head coach? He was good.
