I was talking about overall ranking JP. There were some improvements but not enough. I'm not being stubborn. We were still ranked near the bottom just like prior years and until we don't we're bottom feeders plain and simple.There was a post a good while back when some people was tooting Allens horn( they know who they are) and I said Allen wouldn't cut it with a 25th ranked D well he didn't even get that. I don't have one ounce of faith in the guy. I'm still trying to figure out what he has ever done to even warrant the hype he gets. Payton has loaded the guy up( draft picks and FA) and I think he's not much better than RR. At least(if rankings are what look good to some not saying you) but RR ranked us 5th his first season. I didn't see the 5th rankings looking at games but those were the stats. Our front 7 have been decently health all season. Allen is 3rd in blitzing, kind of like Williams was and that don't turn out all that well when you don't get there as you know. What I have noticed about his 2nd half adjustments he tighten the box up ( sells out to stop the run) making teams beat us with their pass, looks good in stats but better qb eat us up in the passing game. I will say this if he loses Ellerbe he's screwed.

Strength & Conditioning Coach Dan Dalrymple is not on the list.

... so, has an offer been made to Wade Phillips yet?

Re: Vitt, Johnson, McMahon, Kwan, Willis FIRED
 

Wanted him when we got RR

To change DCs again just looks clueless and sends a bad message about stability and continuity after so many down years.

Re: Vitt, Johnson, McMahon, Kwan, Willis FIRED
 

Not sure, we're in uncharted territory here...

Payton has been hiring coaching replacements alongside the lame ducks the past three seasons with the designation "Senior (Enter Specialty) Assistant"...

Why?!? Allen, within his own scheme, did a good complementary job; we just trashed the 3-4 for the 4-3...

As if rebuilding the defensive scheme every 2.5 seasons wasn't bad enough, are we now going to go year to year, back and forth, with the defense?

We could hire Farmer Fran as new ST coordinator...he runs roughly the same kind of practices McMahon did.

You know, seriously, not that you'd want to overload a secondary coach, especially the great job ours is doing...

But at the levels of football I participated, the secondary coach also ran with special teams assignments and coverage...

I noticed and asked one of my Head Coaches why this was and his response was "who better than (the secondary coach)? (He's) got a better understanding of spacing and zone assignments than anyone..."

Still seems legit...
