GUSHCOW: this is what happens when you have ONE legitimate pass rusher, who only has one move and db's who cant cover their guys long enough for a bltz to get to the qb.
he was limited by what he could do. you can coach and throw out schemes all you want but if your db's cant cover anyone for any real length of time, your doomed!!
and who coached this great secondary? TODD BOWLES? and the secondary is the worst rated unit of our defense. bottom portion of the nfl. same with the other two teams secondary's he coached, all at the bottom of the nfl.
so, how is he the answer to our defense? you think mike nolan was a bad DC? you wait untill you see the todd bowles show.
IN ANSWER TO MCCOYS STAFF: there is no mike mccoys staff. jeff ireland was given COMPLETE controll over personell so it who will IRELANDS staff be, not mike mccoy's. heres what it will look like, a portion anyways................ .
DC: it will be yer boy, TODD BOWLES and he will retain his assistant h/c title. he is only here because he is a bill parcells guy, just like ireland and sparano and they all came here together. ireland believes in the "bills guys" way and will keep him around. bummer.
OC: BRIAN DABOL. he was picked by ireland himself. ireland is the guy who hires and fires all personell, he would never want anyone to think his choice was wrong and therefore, he will keep him on. elementary my dear watson! elementary. and it might not be that bad. dabolls offense seemed to benefit matt moore and brandon marshall and mccoy has coached both of them with SUCCESS so it MAY be the smart choice.
the rest could all just be the same with only a couple spots like qb coach being a need.
NRA!!!@@!: I understand the sky is falling all day every day. First off, Todd "My boy" Bowles....not sure where you're getting that, definitely not from anything I wrote...all I said was it was likely we would retain him as our DC, nothing more, guy's average. In support of Bowles there have been reports that he took over the playcalling in the second half of the season where we saw a marked improvement (albeit take those reports with a grain of salt).
Nolan's scheme is outdated, he's even mentioned since signing with the Falcons that he is going to start to transition to more 5 DB looks next season, clearly an adjustment he couldn't make mid season (did I mention McCoy's really good at that). His personnel is average....the scheme made it look BAD. Of course we need more pieces, but his playcalling on third really doomed us, no in game adjustments.
