In my dreams, talk about relaxed atmosphere

That's undoubtably based on your age and experience. - LOL

the coaching carousel in the NFL.......it happens every year where coaches go from one team to the other....most teams don’t bring back all of their coaches year after year.

Only Danny Crossman is immune to carouseling.

As am I... I'm more concerned about the scheme because it's a mystery at this point but based on his hires I'm thinking 4-3 hybrid thats leans on cover 3 like Carroll had (not just because of this hire) just a gut feeling...

As in?...

The 4-3 Under Defense, Part I: An Introduction

I delve into a series of posts that examines the Seahawks unique 4-3 Under with Elephant defensive philosophy and schemes. Part one is an introduction to the alignments and terminology.

p.s. The aforementioned & the 4-2-5 that Garry Patterson ran at TCU are the schemes I like best.

The 4-2-5 is a little leaky on the running game side...unless your Dts are really good at swallowing up blocks and the des are able to hold the edges properly.

You'd need a safety that's like a hybrid lber ....maybe Jones?

I thought both sieler and wilkins alot of the time got pushed around and left the middle of the defense too open. Granted they were chasing sacks but if you are caught out of position, out of your gap assignments, you will leave a hole open for the rb or qb to make you pay.

IIRC, Patterson's D had 3 Safeties ... Strong, Weak, & Free.

My preference for the 5th DB would be to rotate a S/CB Hybrid (Ramsey ?), S/LB Hybrid, & 3rd CB.

p.s. Ideally, the phins would have a 4 man line where a DT and edge both command a double team. Thus, making the opponent keep 6 in to block

looks like our opportunistic defenses of 3-4 years ago.

I thought Renaldo Hill (former Dolphins DB) was an up-and-coming coach?

He is.
