Parcells defensive philosophy

[Bleu Star]

the Pats don't just plug in anyone, they draft extremely well

 

[Bleu Star]

yep, it's all about drafting and bringing in players that fit your system, they all dont' have to be stars, but they can't all be scrubs

 

[Bleu Star]

It'll be very interesting to see what a non-Zimmer 3-4 defense under the current Parcells looks like for sure.

Very.... Many a story will have been told when 2007 is all said and done.

with the system the way it is now, you arnt going to have dominating, loaded teams like we had in the early to mid 90's anymore...

the Patriots dont have alot of great players and they are consistently excellent because they are extremely well coached...they plug guys in left and right and things just keep plugging along...

I agree David. Coaching and schemes (or lack thereof) is far more important now than it was pre-cap. This is exactly why you are seeing coaches making huge bucks now.

Teams have to get the most out of their players and the best way to do that is by good coaching and good schemes, offensively and defensively.

You can't get by on pure, raw talent any longer. Salary cap won't allow for it.

Coaching and schemes (or lack thereof)

There is most of our problem.

 

[Sarge]

There is most of our problem.

Agreed. We have more talent on the team than we are showing.

Agreed. We have more talent on the team than we are showing.

BP wanted to do the same thing back in the giants days but Belichek mixed things up...thats why they won...not because OTHB just went straight at em with is vanilla D....without Belichek he never won guys...do you realize that? Even when his team wen 6-10 one year only after he brought Belichek back in did he reverse things...Bill is too vanilla...it doesnt take a brainiac to realize if you dont have the talent you have to scheme your strengths! how stupid and arrogant must he be!????????? very!

It will look the same.
Duane makes all the calls.

I really like LeBeau, but I think Pepper might be our guy. It's just a gut feeling. If you look at our team and the Pats, they seem built about the same, big with some speed (not fast) and I think someone who can work with type of D will ultimately work best.

Maybe it was all Zimmer.
