But the Ravens are an interesting example in that their DC was the DC in Denver in 2010 and they were awful. I just don't know how much a DC can do in terms of being so crazy creative without talent. I think you're also underrating the Ravens talent and I think they're an example of what we need to look at in terms of just having good players everywhere. This great here and shit there approach just doesn't work anymore on defense. |

Spags and Rex Ryan are the two guys I didn't want. This may not be an upgrade at all.

It's honestly not surprising, with the way Reid basically does nothing with the defense I don't think he was ever going to higher some young coach who'd never done it before.

But young coaches, especially the superstars, those ****ers are grinders man. They are 1,000 mph and they will kill themselves to get a shot at the big chair. They are so often out there providing the energy and the shot in the arm that an organization needs. If I am looking for a "Head Coach of the Defense" then the EXACT guy I'm looking for is the hungry up and comer that will have the fire and energy and straight up hunger to go put forward the 100 hours that he needs to learn and create. Not Romeo ****ing Crennel or Gunther or some other recycled old guy who thinks he has the answers already. There's ample cause to flip that entire paradigm on its head and say that if you're looking for someone to turn the keys over to, the young guy is the way you SHOULD go. |

This reeks of a hire who would keep his kid as the DL coach. He and Andy are besties, so no way would he fire junior. God damnit Andy.

Good old Andy "keep it in the family" Reid.
I get wanting just an average defense, but the skies the limit here and we're settling for someone who is bottom tier by all measures. I don't understand this mentality Andy can go out and get anyone and is stuck with this decision for a while probably at least in his mind. |

Some won't like this aspect, but I'm just satisfied they are getting away from the 34. It's just so damn hard to find players for it
