Can we get an attacking 4-3?

Looked like the second half they blitzed more and big shock, they got one INT and should have had a second one on the first play of the next drive.

If these players really are these great athletes, let them go and cause chaos rather than sit back and let QBs coming back from mono throw 92 yard bombs

Cowboys D would’ve went prevent for that 2pt conv. They don’t attack a dam thing.

Like the Eagles?

Have to get rid rid of the current scheme. Letting Eberflus get away was a huge mistake. He should have been elevated to DC.

Was offered that opportunity. It's possible he did not want work within the constraints of Marinelli's scheme.

Marinelli should have been pushed out the door. Jerry should have made Eberflus the man in charge of the D.

I'd also like an offense that shows up more than 11 quarters out of 24.

The Patriots offense has been terrible this year but their defense has bailed them out and already has 14 INTs! It’s amazing how extra possessions and short fields can cure an offenses problems. This defense never gives them a chance.

Reports indicated he didn't "want to step on any toes" and looked up to Rod as a father like figure.

The offense doesn't help the defense either though

Here's who Lincoln Riley should bring in for DC.

According to those close to the situation, it was Kwiatkowski who approached his boss about making the change, knowing that Lake, then the promising defensive backs coach, would likely land a coordinator job elsewhere.

“I don’t know if it’s ever happened this way,” Kwiatkowski told the Seattle Times, “and at the end of the day I don’t really care. It’s not about my ego and my title. I know I’m a good coach and I know I have a big imprint on this defense. But I’m happy to do it to keep Jimmy around here and keep this thing rolling.”

It's no surprise that Lake was sought-after, after mentoring a slew of NFL-ready defensive backs in his four seasons at UW. Four of Lake's proteges have heard their names called in the first two rounds of the NFL draft, including pro-bowler Marcus Peters.

Since Lake took over the lead role for the entire unit, little has changed from a schematic perspective. The Huskies still run a unique 2-4-5 system that relies heavily on their talented back-seven and rank 12th nationally in yards-allowed-per-game

Up front, the Huskies line up two 300 lb tackles whose job is to eat up double-teams and disrupt blocking schemes. Outside of those big boys are a pair of hybrid end/linebackers who appear more like the kind of stand-up pass rushers you might find in Pittsburgh or Baltimore on Sundays.

For anyone who might be confused by the 2-4-5.

It's a 4-2-5.

The 2 are two larger DT's.
The 4 is two edge rushers and two traditional backers, a Mike and a Will.
The back 5 is your standard NFL nickel.

Very intriguing. But if your HC/OC is a young college guy with no NFL experience. I’d prefer the other coordinator had NFL experience so you aren’t experimenting on both sides of the ball

Overall, he's one of the better defensive coaches against the spread and spread-like concepts of modern football.

That’s good. I didn’t know his resume.

One legitimate problem would be he works under Peterson at Washington. Peterson was Kellens head coach. If he gets mad that Kellens not brought back, he may bad mouth the team to his DC.

Also, my absolute #1 choice would be Gus Bradley, especially if we go young, offensive-minded coach at HC. He's under contract with the Chargers through 2020. However, the Chargers are 2-4 so Bradley could end up available next March.

Coaches don't really work that way. Chris Peterson won't be "mad" at Kellen Moore not being retained. If anything, he'd just hire him on his staff.

Opportunity and money are the main motivations. Realistically, Lake may be weighing college HC jobs next year, but I would think an NFL DC job would be intriguing for him.

The 1 INT we got was because the ball went off high on Darnold’s hand, otherwise he was marching down the field to the tune of another TD. It hardly had anything to do with pressure or our defense other than it sailing right into our DBs hands..

the difference is that our DB's are usually nowhere near the ball, whether they are stray passes or popped up into the air.

Well this was a quick pass anyways, meaning your going to be near the ball irrespective. The play before, Gase, if he calls the plays. dialed up a risky pass play to the left side in a bunch formation with our DBs in that vicinity.

my point is simply, the INT was basically just a throw that got away from Darnold. There was nothing really special about the defense that was carving us up all the way up to that point. The Jets were marching down the field and we couldn’t stop them at all.
