Ferentz would not be Pioli's puppet. Might he be willing to coach with a lot of the very good coaching staff that is here, including his old compadre Romeo? Sure. Ferentz would not come without complete control over his staff and probably a good bit of control in the player acquisition process.

I just realized this D is actually 15th in yards.

That's not horrible at all.

Anyone suggesting we need to blow up that side...no.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Ravens and Jets run a 2-gap 3-4?

If only games were decided by yards and not points.

I don't think we need to blow it up. I think we need to get some good D-lineman, particularly NT and attack a lot more. We are more successfull if we attack. Even against the Jets we stopped then 3 straight times after their opening drive and all the offense gave them for it was 3 points.

Source? Haven't read that one anywhere yet...

the best coach will scheme around your best players. have the personnel (aside from NT) for a good 3-4 defense? YOU ****ING RUN THE 3-4 DEFENSE (maybe a bit more attacking, hopefully)

Anyone whos advocating going to the 4-3 is a moron. We have all the pieces in place, except a healthy safety and a young dominant nose tackle.

If youre worried about being handcuffed to a scheme, then hopefully the next coach we hire will be one who will look at the players we have and build a scheme based on them.

He would have to be Haley dumb, to swap to the 4-3.

This team is about 2 players away from being a perennial division winner.

1. QB


(Huge gap in importance)








2. Nose tackle.

Lets just hope to based god, that our next coach is willing to cut ties with Matt and draft one in the first.

Our ppg looks bad because of the offense, turnovers and the first two games.

DING DING...we have a winna...

I hope you are right. Some never been a NFL HC College guy making demands like he just won his third Super Bowl will get to stay in Iowa Freaking City and we wont be subject to another low ball experience builder program. God save us from that fate.

We are a healthy Berry and NT away from being a really really good defense.

Hell, get a QB that can let the offense keep the ball and get Berry back and its a great defense IMO.

Its no secret to anybody that a QB and NT make this team serious contenders. Especially with the AFC not showing to be elite at the moment.

Bringing back Wiegmann was.

I'm not sure why anyone would say drafting Mcluster was a mistake. HE is one of the few players who isn't going to give up ala Bowe.

Because he sucks and there were much better players available.
