Joe Cullen Appreciation Thread
 

Low key one of the best moves this organization has made the last couple of years.

Jones had a career year in his first season. He's done a great job with Karlaftis. FAU looks like he can be even better. I have no doubt that he will make a starting NT out of Coburn or Farrell. Can't wait to see Omenihu unleashed.

He's probably the best DL coach in the NFL.

Just as I think it's early to condemn the WR room, I'm gonna wait and see a bit more on the DL.

Definitely on the right path.

Give this man credit for Mike Danna goddamnit

We're going to have the 89 49ers offense combined with the 85 Bears defense.

I knew I forgot somebody that has also played better under him.

Nnadi not looking like shit was a pleasant surprise.

Did the linebackers get better when Daly moved to LB Coach? Or is that more the talent improvement?

Think that has more to do with talent, but you could definitely say that Daly has done a good job with the young guys, in particular Chenal.

I don't know what kind of magic Cullen has going on, but the difference in our d-line play is like night and day, and he's doing it with freaking Matt Dickerson playing the most snaps of any DT. How is that even possible? I saw that guy make a play yesterday and I didn't even know who the hell it was.

It's quite amazing, and I just hope he decides to stick around and nobody offers him a DC job anytime soon. He is a perfect example of just how important position coaches can be, especially at a spot like DL. We've gone from constantly underperforming to being able to plug just about anyone in and get results.

The idea is Spags scheming up his defense with consistent pressure from just the front four is frightening.

We've been here before.

I hope he replaces Spags.

When Spags' retires? Sure.

even rotational guys like danna and nnadi have improved under him

not looking forward to when he gets stolen away

Danna has reached a ceiling that I dont think anyone imagined when he was drafted.

Not sure who he is but I think I like him. Hey Joe, Happy Birthday!!

Man I REALLY like what they're doing with Chenal. Not sure it all happens for him straight away but now they seem to be including him as a pass-rusher it feels like he's becoming a really all-round balanced player. 4 pressures that last game, solid in coverage, great against the run. He's contributing in every role he's asked to perform in.

He's been a terror so far from the interior.

I'd say switch him to passrush DT specialist full time, but he's also by far the best run defender we have at DE.

Where the hell did they find this guy?

I mean, the way Jones likes to play RDE on 3rd and long?

Jones // Umenihu // Danna // Karlaftis

That foursome is a top eight unit right now. By December, let's see.

I actually like our DL more than our secondary right now, total switch from my earlier expectations. Feels like the extra pressure as well as McDuffie dominating in the slot is letting our other DBs off a bit. If Sneed gets back into rhythm soon though and one of Watson or Williams gets stickier in coverage, we're in amazing shape.

Not sure about Cook, but both safeties started slow last year and came good. Hoping the same happens.

Feels bizarre having a Mahomes/Reid team that is being led by the defense.

I won't lose sleep if we trade Jones. Know why?

Joe Cullen

I like his last name. Reminds me of Culver's.

Hey, I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Hope he can wreck games. Haven't seen it yet though.

Culver’s has a pretty good Reuben.
