He was a lefty and had a collection of hypnotic Jesus pieces to keep hitters off his middling fastball. Seems like an odd choice but what do we have to lose.

Next up for the interview is Sean Mcdermott himself. He will interview himself in the mirror and judge the candidate to be superb! and like the cut of his gib! A lock for the job!!

hondo in seattle Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just because McD is interviewing a 3-4 guy doesn't mean he has any intention of running a 3-4. I'm guessing he's hiring a DC to take a bit of the load off his shoulders so he can do more HC stuff. I don't think McD is looking for a guy to come in and implement an entirely different defense. I think he's looking for someone who can run meetings & practices and coach guys... in McD's 4-2-5 defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all 4 LBs and Von might flourish as an off-the-ball OLB now in his career. Ed Oliver goes to DE. Our LBs can also cover if we went 3-3-5 on certain passing situations. Just spitballing here. Until we get a bonafide NT (see Ted Washington) a 3-4 is a major mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Watching the Jaguars the few times I did, Caldwell very much seems like hybrid guy, which isn’t the worst thing. But he’s had some good influences, playing for Belichick and Saban in Cleveland, Jim Johnson and McDermott, as well as Ron Rivera, Leslie Frazier and Steve Spangolo in Philly. He also has experience coaching under Todd Bowles. So an interesting guy to add to the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a Todd Bowles disciple. It would be quite a change Which would mean more defense heavy drafts incoming smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex really screwed the pooch on that one & for the Pegs to think it was good idea well i'll give them that one seeing as they had just got the team & were new to the NFL . But it's no wonder Rex is a TV analyst because changing a #1 ranked Defense from the scheme they used & letting Schwartz out the door was the MOST STUPID THING i've ever seen a coach do ! Then if you think about the number of sacks & pressures that Defense had they should of tar'd and feathered Rex in down town B/lo for that . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
