Every time I watch what the Chiefs are doing I can only think about what if we had picked Reid instead of Rhoades for our HC in 1999. How many Super Bowls would he have won with Favre and Rodgers. Bellichick and Brady would be Marv Levy and Jim Kelly instead of GOATs.

So a lot of people on the forum favor the Ravens defensive style. But aren't they a bend don't break mainly zone team? I don't consider the Ravens defense a bend-but-dont-break defense at all. They play a lot of zone, sure, but are considerably more aggressive with blitzing and coverage switches. T...

Wicks and Watson are the best blockers so that could make a difference in snap counts

Andrew Mertig is reporting that Parker is on his way to Green Bay to accept the job.

Has anyone looked at the All-22 from the Niners game to see why Wicks was not used? Is he that bad against Zone coverage? Or was Love just not seeing him open? I only remember seeing a couple of targets his way.

If we all agree that the Barry defense schematically and in execution was not good, then how can we confidently say our ILBs and Safeties are lacking in skills and need to be upgraded. Maybe they were put in situations to fail. I'm all for bringing in competition but I'm not ready to say Nixon isn'...

Bears hired Eric Washington as their DC. He's a Bills assistant. Apparently they liked him better than Babich.

That Parker dude is only a year older than Preston! I love that they are talking to some young guys. I'm all for giving a guy his chance if you like what he is trying to do. You can't be experienced unless someone has given you an opportunity. I think these kids today need someone they can relate to...

Before the season began Gutey was asked about the defense and he said that he felt real good about where we were personnel rise and that expectations were high for the defense this year. There is no way Gutey & Murphy were going to let MLF keep Barry after the season we had defensively. I'm not ...

Now that Atlanta went with a defensive HC, I'd be interested to see if Ryan Nielsen shakes free from that job, also. A lateral move for a young guy who got good results from a fine but not impressive roster this year.

Didn't Nielsen get the Jaguars DC job?

I'm reserving judgement on Gary until I see him with a better DC.

I just think you make the defense make the decision for you. Come out with Kraft, Musgrave, Watson, and take your pick at WR. If they come out in base you can do so much with the formations and passing game to kill them. If they come out light in nickel you should be able to excel at running just b...

I was just telling someone today you know it's time to change DC when at the end of a game you hope and pray that the defense will make a stop. Fans in SF expected their defense to make a stop. Huge difference. Evero is a good choice if we can get him. Agree with the Ravens connection also. But, I ...

Where did Zimmer learn his defense? Is he a disciple of someone or is he like Fangio and created his own?

Did Jaire post a farewell message? Wouldn't he have to be traded?

I live in Bills country and Hyde just doesn't have it anymore. Savage played better than him this year. I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I think the only reason our D looked respectable against SF is because Purdy sucks throwing a wet ball. If that game was played in dry weather and our RZ offense w...

I find it hard to believe that the DC decision is 100% on MLF. Just as the coaches give opinions to Gutey I would bet Yoop's life that Gutey and Murphy are at least giving their opinion. Remember at one of Gutey's preseason press conferences he said that the expectations were high for our defense. N...
