BingoWhen guys like Sam Darnold look like Montana and call out your scheme. Yeah. It’s crap

Those of you who don't know Clay Mack, he's a big-time DB coach/trainer based in DFW. He said he doesn't think its a personnel issue with the backend. He said when he trained the Cowboys DBs in the offseason the coaches were forcing them to do only one technique instead of coaching to their strengths.
KRichard wasn’t the problem.
KRichard ran the cover schemes.
but Marinelli/Garrett ran the teams defense.
Every team figured out that jacked scheme Marinelli ran.
Don't get too hyped up on Mike Nolan's scheme. He's a journeyman.
to be fair, BJones only gave up 36 catches last season.

The old Richard kick-step? How’d we ever get that one so wrong, I wonder?
Seems like defensive scheme was always the problem in the Garrett Era, even after replacing DCs and DB coaches. Garrett was clueless in building a staff
He wasn't the only coach we got wrong

Keep in mind the man who hired and promoted Marinelli, and who also hired Kris Richard. That's the root of the problem.
Yup. It elevates some guys but makes others redundant or nearly unusable.Not as simple as the kick-step technique not being a good one. Pete Carroll has had it working well for years in Seattle. But it definitely looks like some players embraced it and did quite well like Byron Jones, while other like Awuzie may have struggled with it. There is a history of some corners struggling to adjust to the technique and it sounds like that's what happened here.
But I am curious to see what Al Harris might do with the corners he has in Dallas. He coached both Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson in Kansas City and both have gone on to play quite well.

Rod didn't hire Richard. Rod was more than happy to just run his DL.And keep in mind MM brought in who he wanted as well. Whether it was previously the root of the issue it may not be now.
Dan Quinn was the architect of that defense. Richards was a hanger on.Because he was responsible for the Legion of Boom, even though that secondary was picked by Carroll, his forte in D. And then Carroll tried to talk him into staying as the DC but he was having none of that, rather be a secondary coach in Dallas.
The Richard love and any Linehan love will always be a mystery to me. Posters were afraid Richard would go elsewhere, I was afraid he wouldn't.
because he created the LegionOfBoom and has a ring.
maybe that could be the reason.
