How many of you have already written off Christian Parker?

Well, since three games is the deadline for excellence, If we fire him today we could have 4.6 more defensive coordinators by the end of the season.

Not sure what the bloodthirsty mob will do during the offseason though. I suppose if we fire one after minicamp and another after training camp, that might keep us on track.

I’d be interested to know how you define “bend but don’t break” specifically when it comes to schemes. Is it simply “blitz = aggression” or “zone = bend but don’t break?”

You do realize that Christian Parker just won a Super Bowl as the defensive passing game cooridjnator for the Eagles and much of our defense is based on what he learned and what he did under Fangio.

As far as instant success,

Fans called for Spagnuolo’s firing the day after the Giants were blown out in his debut. That team ended up fine.

And there’s another team I can think of that started off horribly and ended up doing pretty well. Their defense was fourth from last the first year.

Three games is just not enough.

Like I said, there are certainly examples of people turning things around. That said, just like Mazi, Taco, Trysten, Schoonmaker, Eberflus, Nolan, etc. most people that start out bad are simply bad.

We have no idea what CP did for Fangio. I will say this, Fangio does a lot more to disguise coverages than CP.

Not a fan of how he wants the DTs to play and seems to be too much confusion with the DBs.

Don't worry, if/when we look better vs Houston and then a backup QB on a short week, the pendulum will swing and he'll be a hero again.

Maybe for the casuals. I'd have to see more than that to start believing in him.

Right now Parker = Mike Nolan = Rob Ryan. Eberflus would be an upgrade over any of them. Right now.
