sdrawkcab321 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Shocker. I thought that was Quinn’s job from the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Great hire. I guess Kafka is most likely staying then, unless he heads to Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game3525 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Commanders are going to end up with Quinn. Man, what a letdown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trentwannabe Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I really like this hire for Seattle. Some coaches just seem like perfect fit for organizations/style of play and MacDonald and Seattle seem like a great fit to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Ravens not winning the division next year. MacDonald against Shanahan and McVay is going to be great. Edited January 31 by notthatbluestuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 He's probably the best candidate on the market this year. Great signing. What is Washington going to do? It seems clear that they aren't going to get one of their top... 5 choices? You can't just settle for a HC. Bieniemy's time to shine finally?

AZ_Eaglesfan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Commanders literally got left in the dust when Ben Johnson turned them down yesterday. All the guys that are left are super underwhelming on paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank4Drake Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Man, the Commanders hire is going to be really underwhelming isn’t it? We all know they were all-in on Ben Johnson. I bet Slowik, Texans QB Coach, and Macdonald were their backup plans as well, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMcFife Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 As a bitter Ravens fan, I'll offer this: he did slightly give me Brandon Staley 2.0 vibes. He has a meek, bland personality that I never thought would be a great leader of men. He's definitely good at mixing coverages. I'm not sure how much credit he should get for the front 7 and the pass rush because Anthony Weaver and Chuck Smith are doing great work there. MacDonald basically dials up pass defenses and allows space to run the ball because Roquan cleans up any mess between the tackles. MacDonald's defenses got much better after the Roquan trade, but Roquan is an All Pro and Seattle doesn't have that kind of off-ball LB. He will have to focus much more controlling running lanes on 1st and 2nd down with Seattle than with Baltimore. Lastly, the Ravens have built up an infrastructure that has given them good to great defense for the past 25 years (only below average defenses in regular season came during injury decimated years (such as 2015, 2021). This includes draft, development, talent eval, and coaching. I guess it remains to be seen how much MacDonald benefited from that or if he is capable of creating that infrastructure in Seattle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
