Lots of people slobbering over a guy that isn’t even the DC of a defense that was about the same as last year. Why? Because he has “passion” I guess. I know he’ll get interviews but what he has shown besides “passion” that make people think he’ll be a good HC? “Passion” lasts about a week so hopefully he has more to offer.
The way he has the defense playing, and not just the secondary. Tackling is back, not this sloppy stuff, except in the Colts game. But all teams have those games now and then.
He is more responsible for getting their defense to play at a high level more consistently than before.
I finally feel I can trust them more now than in the past. Do I still get nervous they can’t make that final stop. Yes, but that is human nature also.
I don’t see it as slobbering, but more of an excitement about the D we haven’t felt that way about for a very long time.
And this defense stat wise may be about the same, but trustworthy wise, it is better. To make the big play at the end of a game to preserve the win. To take over and win a game too, suck as the TB game.
So give him some props for helping the D.
