Aggressive, in your face coverage corners? Give me more of them. Not sure that describes King to a T though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jleisher Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I want Jim Leonhard, but that seems to be a dream. My $ is on OLB Coach Mike Smith, another in house guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rookie defensive coordinator probably would've needed more time to see results. Reid was lucky enough to hire one who won a superbowl as coordinator before. I have to think LaFleur is thinking the same as he needs the defence heading in the right direction quickly as possible whilst the superbowl window is still open and with that in mind it does perhaps suggest we might look to hire an experienced coordinator. Unlike Reid, LaFleur will find it much harder to find an ex-superbowl winning coordinator that is readily available and at the right age. There are some talented coordinator retreads to consider such as Teryl Austin, Kacy Rodgers, Perry Fewell, Jerry Gray and obviously Wade Phillips at a ridiculous age of 74. Of course there are many ways to skin a cat. What works for them doesn't necessarily mean it will work for us. Its all about the right fit even if that means a hiring a first time coordinator. This is a ridiculously well-measured response. Go figure it has no likes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G figure you point out the “no likes” on a “ridiculously well-measured response” and didn’t take the time to like the post yourself. Funny how that works eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what "stuck in his ways when it comes to those specifications" means in terms football play. I dont necessarily need long CBs. Height certainly can come in handy, but aggressive, out to contest/win every down coverage guys? My kind of DB. Jaire isnt tall - thats obvious - but he's certainly a gamer/battler. We could use one of him on the other boundary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that Richards is stuck in his ways about his H/W requirements at the DB position in order to play in his schemes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathstar Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Those three names have strong coverage backgrounds. Seems like that’s what LaFleur wants to emphasize. Also really interesting is the contrast to McCarthy’s own firing of a DC after two seasons. He really lamented choosing a first time DC because he felt he had to handhold Bob Sanders too much. That’s why he chose former HC and DC Dom Capers. Looks like LaFleur isn’t nearly as concerned about choosing first time coordinators considering the interviews of Harris and Evero.

Arthur Penske Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I know it’s not like it used to be but Isn’t Chris Harris coming from a “4-3” and played that mostly in the pros? Anyone know his background well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
