big_palooka Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Raider fans are clamoring for Wade Phillips to be their next defensive coordinator. Should they be? I know he's had a lot of success in his career. But never seems to keep a job past 3 years. Can he mold a defense that his little overall talent?

N4L Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Forget your question for a second If you are wade, and you are over 70, why the **** would you even consider going to a place like Vegas where they have basically zero quality talent on defense?? Honestly, give me one reason why wade would want to go to Vegas. I can't think of one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearerofnews Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Id love Wade back with the Chargers. He would get the most out of this talented D, that has horrible scheme and he actually blitzes.

Seems everyone he goes has immediate improvement... then gradual decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Don’t think Wade’s an immediate fit for what the Raiders have on defense. I mean, they don’t have a ton, so you could argue any fit might seem a little rough until they add some talent, but I don’t see it right away. He’s going to one-gap, he’s going to blitz a few of his backers, and he’s going to play man coverage in the back. Asks a lot from his safeties. Relies on a good coverage backer. Hurst and Littleton seem like immediate fits, but the rest of the front don’t seem like immediate fits IMO. Not really sure how the Raiders CBs play and I know the safeties leave a lot to be desired.

RamblinMan99 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Well, Jerry Jones got caught making fun of him on tape and didn't even care. So, that should give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, give me one reason why wade would want to go to Vegas. I can't think of one. I agree wholeheartedly. I don't understand why any reputable coach would take the job given the complete void of talent and lopsided nature in which the team spends to support Gruden's offense. That said, Wade reportedly is interested: https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/raiders/raiders-call-on-marinelli-for-short-term-phillips-interested-in-long-term-2218809/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnette and Mullen are press man corners. That's their best fit. They need to overhaul the safety position as they have nothing there. Hurst is a talented player who currently gets <50% snaps in games which makes no sense to any of us. Littleton has been a lost man in the current scheme.

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 You could probably argue Wade is one of the best DC’s ever, but his schemes lately have also had Elite pass rush talent in Demarcus Ware, Von Miller, and Aaron Donald, so that certainly helps.
