Eberflus gets new job title

[big dog cowboy]

Wilcox was a third rounder.

And went thru a position change from RB to S. That is called a project and you don't draft those that high.

maybe you don't but nfldraftscout had him right around where he was drafted. He played one year of S in college, improved dramatically, and has good size/speed measurables.

Jon Gruden is going to clean house next off-season.

Lol ya right

He is not good at all. Not even worth keeping for st's.

this just sounds like sour grapes hyperbole.

He can't tackle.
He takes beyond terrible angles
He's terrible in coverage
Always gets penalties

Rewatch the Detroit playoff game from 2014. He takes bad angles and overrun things all the time but he is a physical tackler and can break down in space.

He is good in man coverage and good at the deep middle. He played deep S most of the year and it was the middle of the field and not over the top where our coverage problems. Up close to the line he takes bad angles and struggles in zone.

He was not particularly egregious in getting penalties as opposed to anyone else on the defense.

Really when all you do is spew binary hyperbole its not very compelling in general.

I disagree with everything but agree to disagree. Heath is better than him at this point.

I'm fine not adding more but if you want to be persuasive to others it helps to actually support your assertions

I said what I thought of him. I over exaggerated on his tackling but everything else is spot on imo. He can be close to the line like you said. And he cannot cover imo. Seems like anytime he does have good coverage there's a penalty on him.

 

[Floatyworm]

What did you expect with Church and Wilcox back there? I don't know if he is a good coach or a bad coach but I do know he didn't have much to work with.

In all honesty...Have you ever seen a safety have success when a team plays a zone under w/ the single high safety over the top? All Wrs do is run past the CBs and flood the zone. ...Leaving the FS in no mans land. No one can reasonably expect a DB to cover sideline to sideline. It's a bad scheme....and I blame the coaches for putting the players in that kind of situation.

 

[Risen Star]

Call me a homer but I'm still not ready to write off Wilcox as a bust. Now Church? Yeah, he sucks.

 

[Rogerthat12]

So, is this a good thing?

Eberflus coordinating the entire lb core and secondary coverage is only a good thing.

What this tells us is they want better communication on the back end and are putting Eberflus on the task.

 

[Junglist]

Sorry, but i cant get behind any Rob Ryan hire. Isn't he the last Rob Ryan guy remaining?

Nobody's ever going to call you a homer. Ever.

 

[mattjames2010]

I've always hated when we don't have coaches who can earn proper titles so they have to make something up to keep them here.

Defensive passing game coordinator? The hell is that? Basically they're saying they're putting him in charge of the entire back 7, while Marinelli oversees the defense in general and probably focuses on the defensive line...

Joe Baker shouldn't be here at all.

I doubt we are the first team who has done this.

 

[vicjagger]

This is a sure sign. If they are putting the lb coach in charge of coverage, they are picking Myles Jack.

 

[Rogerthat12]

I doubt we are the first team who has done this.

Henderson took the same position in Atlanta, it overlooks the entire secondary pass defense, both secondary coaches and the overall pass defense emphasizing communication from the lb core in this instance to the back end.

Clearly they reviewed the issues in the back end and corresponding communication breakdowns.

The LB and secondary have not played well in tandem in a long time.

I've seen you write off much much better players in the past. Strange.
