Best part, the players will like playing for him. The worst part, reading that source regarding his 3rd down defenses from the Chargers days. That terrifies me as that is our biggest weakness here already.

Schneed10 01-22-2017, 02:58 PM Gruden continues to show an inability to expand his hiring comfort zone. I get that Bradley had options, but Pettine remains available. He was so obviously the best resume out there. This better work this year or Gruden needs to be fired. He appears to just be a good coach. I'm not seeing any of the necessary leadership qualities. diehardskin2982 01-22-2017, 03:01 PM The thing is that there are coaches on this staff that they did not want to lose (Pleasant and Olivadotti) and so this allows them to keep those pieces in house. Watch for Tomsula to possibly become D-Line Coach, promote Pleasant to secondary coach and hire Jeff Fitzgerald Outside linebackers coach. May even add an additional coach for safeties. I hope they could add Pettine as a positional coach in some capacity. sdskinsfan2001 01-22-2017, 03:06 PM The thing is that there are coaches on this staff that they did not want to lose (Pleasant and Olivadotti) and so this allows them to keep those pieces in house.

As far as I know, Pleasant has already left. ethat001 01-22-2017, 03:15 PM It's ludicrous to think anybody would instantly make this D better with the current roster. Are you sure about that? I'd wager quite a few would make this team instantly better. They wouldn't have to do too much - we had the 28th rank D in yards, and historically bad 3rd down. It could be ludicrous to think someone could make it top 10 - no one is suggesting that. There is certainly a lack of talent on this team, but Barry was reportedly using concepts where players got confused, and was late sending in calls. It's possible that simply getting calls in time and simplyifing the defense could lead to an instant improvement -- to at least average level. Anyway, lot of draft picks and tons of cap space in free agency, and if O fixes run game and red zone it would help even further. Lot of ways we can improve defense with a JAG (just-a-guy) d-coordinator. sdskinsfan2001 01-22-2017, 03:28 PM I'd rather suck being aggressive than sitting back and letting the qbs play pitch and catch. So in that regard it's a good hire. Our floor is a more exciting style of suck. Chico23231 01-22-2017, 03:30 PM Are you sure about that? I'd wager quite a few would make this team instantly better.

All good points, but looking at the defensive rooster the best coordinator couldn't turn this defense into a top 15 defense in the league...barry scheme was lacking for sure, but it's pretty obvious like Matty says it's only so much you can do. diehardskin2982 01-22-2017, 03:38 PM As far as I know, Pleasant has already left. Redskins blocked him, I believe still under contract. OmahaRedskins 01-22-2017, 03:45 PM I like the move and have no issues with it. To me it's a win - win all the way around. That does not mean i would not have liked Wade or Pettine, but at the end it's a good move. I only hope the fan base will get behind the move and give him a chance. I do not want to see post in November bitching about the move. SFREDSKIN 01-22-2017, 04:15 PM Nice old article on GM. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1989/07/26/call-of-wild-comes-early-for-manusky/b5e17a16-6d5c-4995-a554-740f7b2b4e06/?utm_term=.7878afdb1505 |
