hey, I’m thrilled that we had a great year. And mostly just bummed about yesterday’s game. Just too many mistakes. But I’m forced to say -our Coordinators are overrated.
Several games this year we have failed to adapt after a hot start. This tells me both coordinators had a great game plan to start, but both failed to adapt to counters by the opposing defense and offense. And that’s on the coordinators.
Bottom line - i ain’t losing any sleep if they both head to greener pastures.
I think we’ll be ok regardless, but I disagree. Both did well enough to get us 30 minutes away from a. Super Bowl. I’m actually particularly impressed with Glenn. The holes in our pass d were obvious and basically unfixable. I’m extremely impressed with what he was able to do anyway with a unit that’s very much still rebuilding.
Both offense and defense should be top 10 at minimum next year, offense should be top 5.
There isn’t nearly as many holes on defense as the media leads people to believe. There may only be 2-3 starting spots on defense even open for competition next year, outside CB, DE, and DT. We will resign JRM, which locks in our top 5 LBers.
There is likely only 1, maybe 2 spots open at edge with Paschal and Cominsky capable of rotating in.
Only locks at DT are Alim and Martin, but good chance one of Levi/Benito are back, maybe both.
Safety is going to need depth, but Joseph and Melifonwu are likely starters.
If we have 25 spots for defense, at least 16 are settled
Hutch
Paschal
Houston
Cominsky
McNeil
Martin
Levi or Benito
Campbell
Anzalone
JRM
Barnes
Rodrigo
Melifonwu
Joseph
Sutton
Branch
If your going to loose one who would you prefer to loose? Ben you would get no comp picks. Glen we would get a 3rd rd comp pick 2 years in a row thanks to the Rooney rule
I get where he’s coming from though. Ben is amazing at many things, but i want to go down punching (i.e. running Monty; play action) and not with “too cute” plays. When he’s at his best he’s a ray of light; at his worst, he reminds me of many of my colleagues who’ve fallen in love with the ideas in their own heads, forgetting they need to adjust those ideas to the shifting world around them.
