Roy Cummings, of the Tampa Tribune, reports there is talk that Herman Edwards may seek to hire Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive line coach Rod Marinelli as his defensive coordinator, should Edwards be named the Kansas City Chiefs head coach.

If we're gonna play cover 2, Knight and Bell have to go. They aren't fast enough to play in the Tampa style defense.

I honestly don't see Germ attempting that experiment again. He tried it in New York and failed.

It woud take an overhaul of the defensive line, too.

Marinelli would have to change the culture of this defense.

News flash. Playing ANY style of D in Kansas City next year will require an overhaul of the D line.

The cover 2 puts more pressure on the front 4 than most defenses unless I am mistaken.

We'd be better off running the defensive style that Washington runs.

Like I said Tampa Bay Style attitude style and attitude on defense.

My point. <-----------------









You. <--------------------


Our D line sucks baows. It needs to be revamped or we will have a repeat of this season.

It looks like then KC might make a push for Hattoli Ngata or Gabe Watson in the draft .

A complete overhaul in one offseason isn't realistic.

Herm tried to hire him before and Tampa denied his request.

I believe that it was the Tampa GM that said...

No Rod Marinelli for you!



Maybe this time will be different.

Do you need permission to give a guy a promotion?

Actually, I don't think you can. If he wanted to make him a coordinator and he's just a position coach then he could leave.

Gruden didn't give Dungy permission to talk to him about the Colts' DC job either when Dungy was hired in Indy.

I'm not 100% certain but a lot of what I've read would indicate that you need permission to speak to anyone under contract.
