Some fresh perspectives and younger coaches will help light some fires. Plus, knowing you'll have a GM who will give you more help probably helps rekindle that spark.

packfanfb Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Interesting question is does this open up the possibility that we target a 4-3 pass rushing end in FA (and/or draft) versus simply the 3-4 OLB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm good with the hire. He's got some bona fides. How that translates into success in GB has alot of moving parts to it that I wont prejudge at this point. I think I like his overall attitude - thinking him something of a tough guy (unafraid to get in a players face) and that he'll be down on the sidelines where he can communicate more closely with the players.

We have a new GM and reason to belive that talent acquisition will be handled differently than it was during Capers time. Also if you want a defense that just lines up and beats the other guys, you need to have the guys to do that.If the concern is that we don't have the right guys to run a complex, scheme-based defense, we also don't have the guys to just line up and beat any team in the league. It's relatively easy to bring in a few stopgap vets who have the savvy to help transition into a new system if you need them. It's much harder to build a defense that can just straight up beat another team across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Kris Richard out as Seattle's DC. If he doesn't land another DC job, could have a connection to Pettine for a staff job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read he's free to pursue other opportunities so i'm sure it would have to at least be another lateral move to DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to keep Whitt personally, but Richard would be a nice replacement. I'd like to keep Whitt as well. As much as I'd like to see this team go back to a 4-3, I don't think Pettine will play it that way, at least on the onset. Reports are saying that he'll keep the base 3-4 with several 4-3 looks that are really the 4-2-5 line up we see as well as the 2-4-5 that apparently the fans love?....I hate the 2-4-5 look. Someone one FB said expect a buttload of dime. Still, if Pettine wants to take Rex Ryan's approach, he's going to want to recreate the type of defenses he had in Baltimore and not elsewhere. Something tells me we may be looking at prospects that fit the Melvin Ingram/Terrell Suggs mold. Guys like Bradley Chubb and Austin Bryant stand out to me right now. I think Da'Ron Payne is a guy we need to keep on the radar as well; he fits the mold of Haloti Ngata a lot better than Kenny Clark will. Reggie McKenzie Jr. and Vita Vea may be options as well. However, we have to question whether or not DL will be addressed given the holes at EDGE and some of the issues along the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
