I hate to say it, but don't be surprised...

I differ from others on this board in that I think Zimmer is a good defensive coach who looks bad at times because he's coaching a system that is relatively new to him.

Using the different system as an excuse is not acceptable IMO. While I will put some of the blame on the players... Zim should be able to at the very least get a hat on a head. So many times we havent.

Any plan that involves moving our best edge rusher to MLB is flawed.

It's not flawed if you subscribe to the theory that your best LB if you're running a 4-3 should be the MLB.

Great players can dominate from almost any area. Urlacher may be Chicago's best edge rusher yet he plays in the middle because it's much harder to take a single player out of the game there. Ray Lewis in his prime would have been every bit as dominant as Ware on the outside.

People tend to forget the success that Ayodele had as an edge rusher in the 4-3. I doubt he forgot how to get to the QB over the last year.

Plus, as I said, it gets James off the field. Ware playing DE doesn't and I'm not sure Ayodele is physically gifted enough to go sideline to sideline.

Well if that happens and we turn out successful then we'll know Tuna was choking the D..

if Zimmer is named Head Coach. I think that is the reason he was not signed to a new contract as DC. Jerry was waiting for Bill to finish. I hope I'm wrong but........ :bang2: :storm: :enough:

What??? That makes no logical sense. (the part of not resigning him because he will be head coach) Beleive me, Zimmer would gladly dismiss that contract if Jones offered him the head coach position. If Jones had full intent on keeping Zimmer no matter what, he would sign him to a contract so he didn't walk once it was up, andn resign him as the head coach when he was ready.

If Zimmer is named HC it's possible there will be wailing and carrying on like nothing since the Black Plague. Jerra might as well name himself to the post (oh wait...): .
