I know of him and remember he was a pretty good DB coach back in the days. I remember he had some really good secondaries for the Bucs like top 1 to 5 secondaries a few times when the Falcons use to play them back in the early matt ryan days. Didn't keep up with him at Washington at all though or with the Rams last year. I'll have to do some looking up and see how those defenses did while he was there. After looking it up some more it seems he had a few really good secondaries and defenses at Boise St. and Washington as well. Here are all years he had a top 10 or secondary in either the nfl or top 20 in college as a DB coach 2004 Huskies - 18th 2007 Bucs - 1st 2008 Bucs - 4th 2010 Bucs - 7th 2012 Boise State - 5th 2016 Huskies - 20th 2017 Huskies - 17th 2018 Huskies - 20th 2020 Huskies - 13th 2021 Huskies - 1st Overall not a bad record at all for providing some good production from what he is coaching with some units being downright dominating. Rather this helps out when it comes to being a DC in the nfl who knows. But it alteast is nice to see he can coach a good secondary when given some talent to work with.

D82 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Well...I take it Morris is going to have more of a say over the defense, so I guess Lake is more of an understudy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanLegend Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 His tenure as Washington HC was a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Jimmy Lake made like half a dozen NFL DB starters while coaching at Washington. Was Washington HC until he hit that player and was with Rams under Raheem last year. Edited January 30 by Trojan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Great DB Coach. Was Chris Petersen's DC and heir at Washington. Failed as a HC. Kind of surprised by this. Figured Raheem would hire somebody to run the defense. Not sure Jimmy Lake is that guy. But then again, I guess I can't say he isn't that guy.

I think it's gonna be a bit of 33/33/33 more of a collective effort. We still have assistant HC/DC/DB coach Jerry grey on staff as well and he was really good for us last year helping Nielsen as a 1st time DC. Honestly with Jerry Gray + jimmy Lake our secondary better be downright scary. Thats 2 very very good DB coaches over the last 15 + years lol. But who knows Morris might still be the main playcaller on defense or he might let Lake try his hand out solo dolo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Atlanta’s got such a weird staff. That’s gonna be interesting to watch unfold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 He was a great assistant at UW before they made him HC and everything fell apart. Not sure how he'll do as a DC but we'll find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboRocket Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Dude had some absolutely loaded secondaries. At one point it felt like the Cardinals were just targeting UW DBs between Budda, Byron Murphy, and Zeke Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
