News: Eberflus is being considered as new DC

[darthseinfeld]

His scheme has never been successful post season. The defensive tackle position is too small and wears down by December.
This scheme will not help 'preserve' Micah

Huge red flag!

His defenses when he was a DC gave up 30 or points in December four times in three. I think you are just making things up hoping that no one knows otherwise

Well, looks like it's finally "official". Per the DC website.

He coached under Rob Ryan too

I kind of like this. We need guys flying to the football not guys giving up on the play.

It starts with HITS​

Throughout his coaching tenure, Eberflus has retained one simple mantra: HITS. The acronym stands for Hustle, Intensity, Takeaways, and Smart. The HITS principle is the fundamental lynchpin of the Eberflus defense.

Hustle and intensity basically go hand-in-hand. Eberflus uses the same loaf system that Marinelli utilized in Dallas (and in other stops), which essentially amounts to tracking how often a player is being lazy during a play. Eberflus often points to the final three seconds of any given play, tracking “an acceleration to and through” the play.

As for takeaways, Eberflus has frequently stressed the importance of them. In his four seasons in Indianapolis, the Colts defense finished Top 10 in takeaways all but one year. The Bears accomplished that feat each of the last two years as well. Eberflus stresses tip drill fundamentals and ball stripping techniques often in practices to encourage this.

The final tenet - smart - ultimately comes down to discipline. His Colts defenses finished each season with fewer penalties than the year before, and his Bears defenses finished in the top five in fewest penalties two of his three season; they had the fewest of any defense last year.

His clock management with the Bears last year was poor and some believe led to his firing. But what about his Defense. In 2022 it was really bad, in terms of points given up. In 2023 bad to begin with but he did rally towards the end of the season which probably gave him a 3rd year. Then in 2024 after a solid start the wheels come off again.

I want someone who can build a top 5 DEF. Not seeing anything here to make me think this is possible.

Thats all as a HC. As a DC he won't be in charge of the clock. In Chicago he wasnt the coordinator, its the same scenario as bringing in Quinn in 2021
