Is he still the DB coach for the Cardinals? Weird he would be trying to become the Chiefs coach when he's coaching another NFL team.

He is not with them this year.

That's the thing, I've wanted to but been reluctant to advocate for Ray Ray. But it isn't even for his rah-rah, or his pedigree. Dude breaks down what the mental error is and what should be happening from a scheme and communication standpoint to maintain defensive integrity.

He's been hammering home all season that defense isn't on a decline because of the rules. It's on the decline because people aren't playing team ball and maintaining scheme and assignments.

He doesn't coach to the athletic freaks like Peters to go out and freelance big plays [good and bad]. He coaches to the Joe Lunchpails to play smart and maintain team containment.

Bring him in. It's clear that the current plan is not effective.

Kevin Ross was one of my favorites back in the day. He helped me out when I was in HS. I loved his play.

That said, last January I saw him at a coaching clinic, and although I enjoyed seeing him speak, I wasn't impressed with his communication or knowledge. However, maybe he wasn't targeting a group of HS coaches, and possibly the way he speaks reaches his clientele a little bit better. He is obviously coaching the best CB in the world right now, which makes him great (good players make good coaches). But I don't recall the DBs when he was in SD being all that remarkable (I could be wrong, correct me if I am).

At least you don't recall them for being remarkably bad, like ours right now.

Albert Lewis and Kevin Ross were 2 of my favorite Chiefs when I was little, man.

And hopefully how to hit with authority while also wrapping up.

I can't think of any good D-line candidates. Neil Smith never seemed all that bright. Joe Phillips went crazy. Saleamua maybe.

I'm in. They know how to hit and tackle, something our current staff doesn't seem to know anything about. I'm going to give ET a pass since bump and run just gets you a holding call (Chiefs only) even if you are within the 5 yard zone. But then, when do most of our DBs play within 5 yards?

Can we also hire Deron Cherry?

Mr. Cherry is too busy selling beer. But if he wants a 2nd income, I'd be all in.

Well yeah. I didn't know it was a Ryan defense he was diagnosing.
Doesn't change my opinion, lol.

I can't even begin to express how much I am behind this. My only concern is making the jump from player directly to D-Coord, to running the whole show. That said, the guy was the absolute definition of a defensive QB and 'make no bones about it'- leader.

It would definitely be a new day on that side of the ball in KC.

He could also help with murders!
