I counted 10 total new city football moves in his life. Might be getting tired of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If Kris Richards somehow manages not to land a HC job or a DC job would you be interested in us bringing him in as DB coach? He played big part in coaching up the Legion of Boom when he was DB coach. He would be my no.1 choice. Equally impossibly is hiring Jim Leonard as DB coach. That would be excellent too but can't see it ever happening. Rod Woodson might be available and he knows the type of defence Pettine runs due to playing for Baltimore. Playing in the 3-4 at Pittburgh doesnt hurt either. Detroit might release their defensive coaching staff when they hire a new head coach. Oden and Alan Williams are interview candidates. Giants have Walton and Merritt. There's also Dennis Thurman who would really help Pettine install his defence but he's old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it wasn't very far of a move but a move nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat. I was pretty down about the signing yesterday and would have preferred Fangio but I'm coming around on Pettine. What impresses me is what he did in Cleveland. Some are down on him about coming from Cleveland but I'm actually impressed with what he did in Cleveland. He was let go after going 10-22 in two seasons in Cleveland. In the meantime Hue Jackson is 1-31 in Cleveland. That shows me that Pettine is a true leader of men and that he can build a team. I think he'll have the defense fired up. So much of playing defense is effort and communication. Good defenses stop the run, rally to the ball and communicate well. That has been lacking in Green Bay for some time.

He had Ed Reed at Baltimore, Gipson at Cleveland, Byrd at Bills as such examples and they all played to a very high level. He had Jim Leonhard following him to all of those teams too. So clearly the single high safety is an important part of the Pettine defence. Obviously HaHa will get first shot at the gig but if we want a speedy safety with elite ball skills could Pettine decide to go with Randall? Pettine will almost certainly will do some things differently to Capers. Randall at safety might be one of them. Josh Jones maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a single high safety have to cover somebody? I kid.....kinda. II was all charged up about Jones coming into 2017 and while he made a smattering of nice plays - he looks totally lost more often. So - hoping for that 2nd year step up and a new DC with different schemes and (hopefully) attitude to infuse the D with. I like fast, swarming to the football and hard hitting defenses. One that makes people pay for their YAC or YPC with a grunt, groan and/or bruise or two. TampaBay Buc D of some years ago - Cincy D now (minus the dirty cheap shots) - Baltimore D - any D really thats mean, nasty (in a nice, gentlemanly sorta way......) and dominates the field.

I dont ask for much now do I? Fair point but to be fair, the entire secondary looked lost last year. Seattle was in that camp from 2012-2014. I knew they were going to destroy the Broncos in the Super Bowl because the Broncos were all about YAC that year and the Seahawks don't give up YAC.

This. I don't buy any reports coming out of a divisional rivals' media station with much value. To me, it's pretty damn telling that the Packers opted to hire Pettine despite not having actually interviewing Bradley or Fangio. And the timing of everything is weird. As soon as news broke that Pettine was their new DC, Fangio re-upped in Chicago and Bradley did the same in Los Angeles. Maybe the Packers reached out to those two, and got word that they weren't really looking around but I'd tend to think that Pettine was their guy.
