AFlaccoSeagulls Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Love it, honestly. The more I read yesterday the more it seemed like Orr was the guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMcFife Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I feel that if we can keep Orr, Weaver, and Chuck Smith, our front 7 will still be really formidable. It's just a question of how much our pass defense will suffer with MacDonald and Wilson leaving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll have some growing pains but so did Mike. Much better than Weaver IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondbull424 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It would make a lot of sense for Chris Hewitt to be a veteran coach to join Macdonald’s staff in Seattle considering his defense and special teams experience could be invaluable in establishing McDonald’s culture over there. In terms of Orr, I’m glad we retained our young talent. As long as we can retain Chuck Smith than I’ll be a happy camper. I’d prefer Weaver to stick around as well for his leadership and ability to hopefully get a HC role and net us draft picks in the future. I’m not too concerned. With the talent on the defense and the talent that should be back, we should be able to win with talent even if scheme isn’t always “genius” tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensDefense3 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 i'm not a fan. the window is now. it feels like he just retired a few years ago, would've liked to get a more experienced DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 We just don't have enough intel on Orr to make a call either way on this one. Obviously the org thinks highly of him and the players love him though, so there's reason to be positive. As others have mentioned I just want to make sure we retain Chuck Smith and others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orr has been coaching here since 2014 and has been with the ILB's for the past 2 seasons as their individual coach. We had tons of guys within the organization we could've hired. It seems like Weaver could have been the choice but he's going to be a HC or DC this year or next year anyways so it would've been a 1-year rental. Orr gives us a chance to have a guy for maybe 2-4 years depending on how teams view him as a HC candidate. The only other viable internal candidate is Chris Hewitt. External candidates are junk tbh we have a great system, why not continue with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BareYourTeeth Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Demeco Ryans began his coaching career the same year as Orr and the 49ers made him their defensive coordinator 3 years ago. Have some faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orr was a very cerebral backer on the field. There’s no reason to believe that he can’t be a great DC until he shows otherwise. He’s been coaching for 7 years now and playing all his life. Macdonald has been coaching for 13 years, 10 years prior to getting his DC shot. So really it’s not that huge of a difference overall.

jpeter15 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Dennard Wilson was good enough to be the Titans' DC and it sounds like we preferred Orr over him for the role. Transitive property suggests he was a better option than outside options and not someone we settled on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
