He's the DC in Baltimore now so... yeah.
Pees wasn't technically fired. He and BB butted heads over schematic decisions and he left after his contract expired. He's the DC in Baltimore now so... yeah.
The "one that got away" in my opinion was Dom Capers, our special teams coach in 2009. He wanted to be the DC badly. We didn't give him the chance and now he's in GB. Sure, GB had a down year on D last year mostly due to injuries but it's back to being a good unit gain and has been that way most of his tenure there.
He was the DC in every way except the title last year - I wouldn't be waiting around for that prediction of yours to come true.Matt Patricia is horrible....the firing should start right there in March
He wasn't the special teams coach, he had some strange hybrid title. DB Coach/Defensive Quality Control/Assistant Head Coach. Something along those lines.
Took his bog standard soft zones to Baltimore too!
Ravens fans moan about him as much as this board did and aren't they ranked in the 20s defensively this year?
I was just wondering because I can't recall a coach being let go mid or in the offseason in his tenure. Seems they all get promoted.
defense got a bit more complex down the stretch last year...so it will be interesting to see if it happens again this year.PATRIOTSFANINPA said:Matt Patricia is horrible....the firing should start right there in March

however secondary coaches definitely need to go.

Matt Patricia has been here since 2004. He's climbed the ladder and been patient. The idea that Bill would punish him for doing what he's told and dealing with a defense in transition he has little input into the make up of is wishful thinking on the part of those who always opt to just blame the coordinator because those guys are easily replaced with a name they recognize. You know, like a Spagnuolo who has really failed miserably apart from his 2007 stint with a loaded Giants defense...
It's easy to blame the coordinator when he employs a very predictable vanilla defense that does nothing to help the secondary. You don't need to be an NFL guru to see that the talented individual play creates the pressure not the scheme. Questionable coaching decisions week in and week out for example, why would you ever drop Spikes into pass coverage in more than a few occasions. Does he not realize how slow he is? Where are the CB/safety blitzes?????? Not a single person in our secondary has a sack this year. His safe and soft schemes IMO are actually hurting the secondary. Patricia needs to be demoted back to LB coach.
you can create pressure rushing just 4 but not the usual front 4 that contains wilfork and love in the middle. they aren't pass rushers... the pressure that comes when Cunningham comes on in a tackle role is obvious. but I agree...when you have those guys on...rushing 4 isnt ideal...but they draw double teams...which opens gaps that are great for blitzingCassanova792 said:because their is not enough pressure on the QB especially if you ONLY rely on the dlineman to create that pressure.
