No, Pitoitua is not 'good go go'; he's an adequate stop gap that should be no more than a situational player. He's only 'good to go' if you mean 'the hell away'. He's exceptionally replaceable.

As to Jackson, no, he is not far from suckage. He is an awful football player who has no technique and a pretty lousy motor.

And finally, no, they would not have to start over at pass-rusher if they converted to a 4-3 - they have Hali and Houston. Houston is a better version of Chris Clemons and Hali is the same guy that was drafted as a 4-3 DE, only now he's stronger than he used to be and has developed legitimate pass-rush moves. He's probably losing his first step a bit, however, so he's actually probably better suited to move back to the D-line as a down lineman where his route to the QB won't be quite as long as it is as a standup backer.

They are going to switch to more one gapping and Rapoti/TJ are athletic enough to get pressure in that type defense. Having Poe also gives flexibility to rotate and he can motor also.

The thing about 1 gapping DE's is that when you have a guy with 4 foot long arms, he has a lot of range in the pocket. Rapoti is a guy I have followed a bit. Trust me, he's got tools in the one gap.

Your points on Jackson are tired. I'm not going to address them since this is really just a dead horse. If the guy is so bad, they'll cut him. He's no star, but he's decent.

ST- Dave Toub- This is huge. Andy has made several comments about upgrading our ST's in his interviews.

why is this huge ?

What is his background ?

[L.A. Chieffan]

SB staff.

Taub is a great S&C coach.

I'm surprised there will be no Marty M.

[Buehler445]

Sweet. That's a better haul than I was expecting. As unexciting as the DC is, it is better than switching to some form of the Tampon 2 IMO.

Seriously?? You didn't expect a little better, or more experience, at OC/DC/QB coach?

I thought Andy would get one recently fired head coach to be a coordinator.

DC - No great options there

OC - He's known Pederson for a long time. Stop crying.

I thought we would go back to the tampon 2 and that would put a BIG damper on what we have going here.

So we went from hiring coaches from the Pats tree to the Eagles tree and throw in a 90-year old DC.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Could be worse, it could have been Don Sutton. Thats the association my mind made when I first read it. Talk about a WTF moment.
