Wade Phillips
Brian Stewart
Dom Capers
Dave Campo
Todd Grantham

It's definitely a unique situation. Good thing or bad thing? I doubt there's a defensive staff with as much experience as ours, that's for sure.

from a preperation standpoint it seems fantastic.

How does stewart feel? Are ego's going to be a factor? Can they coach positions as well as coordinate a defense?

I think it is a good thing, unless you view it from the aspect of This all spells wade phillips doom.

I think when you look at the facts, that's a very hard thing to sell (not that you're selling it). Grantham, Stewart, and Capers all worked together in Houston. So they have a pretty strong connection with Wade via Stewart. Campo is the only one with no real connection with Wade.

Good point about the egos, though. But I guess you could say that Brian Stewart is the only one that hasn't been fired -- yet.

Boy, Jerry sure has his ducks in a row on this one. Phillips cant afford to "snooze or he will looze".

Just the way it should be. :)

Yep. I agree. I think campo will be fine.

Unless capers breaks his balls routinely about his houston team beating the cowboys in 02!

with 5 d.coords I would assume it would be easy to gameplan a team.

If we arent top 5 in d in most categories next year then it will be a shock

You haven't missed a thing. There's a bit tea-leaf reading going on.

He interviewed, but that is all.

Now if they could only get Roy to play like he should.

Better add Dr. Phil to help with that.

How you thin Garrett will feel? He will be standing all alone at the coaches BBQ, while everyone is talking about Zone Dogs and gap responsibilities, Jason will be trying to get into the conversation.

"Hey guys, what do you think about Crayton running a 6 route from the slot? That will draw the SS down and open TO to post up?"

Everyone will look at him like he was talking Martian.

Hope she likes Houck. That is the only person on the staff that he will have talk to.

So we can finally blame it on the players if they screw up next year or is it on Wade Phillips or some other crap?

a guy like Capers doesn't interview for a demotion position unless there is serious interest on both sides.

A wise man once said, "know your roll and shut your mouth jabronie."

With this much experience hopefully these guys understand that concept.

Not suggesting there isn't interest. Just saying nothing has been announced.
