What Zimmer had to say about Micah, Diggs and Gilmore before he was hired

[Risen Star]

He didn't want to get into it at the press conference but here's what he had to say a year ago on his podcast.

The usual "they did a lot of things great, we like what they do, we have to build on what they have, i'm really excited about working with these guys!" heard it all before, cue fan negativity 3,2,1~

 

[Coogiguy03]

WOW TALK ABOUT HONESTY, I can say i love that!!!!! Eat crow coog!!!!!!

 

[Risen Star]

The really interesting part is what he has to say about Diggs. He clearly won't want him gambling on interceptions. He's not going to have as much freedom as he had with Quinn. You wonder how that will work out.

he'll probably cry like his brother does in Buffalo. Tears run in the family.

Signing Gilmore also means drafting a CB high in April gets kicked down the road.

I don’t believe it should be pressing need

Bring back Gilly. You have Gilmore, bland and diggs. Wright can play snaps and Eric Scott had a redshirt year.

im more inclined to lean towards Jourdan Lewis based off age, price and he plays slot.

Zimm is a good man and great coach if we fail again it is not because of him

I agree.
Even if Gilmore walks you still got Diggs and Bland on the outside.
They could bring back Lewis, which should be a cheap re-signing.
Add in another low cost vet/hope for Scott to improve.
Draft another one in day 2-3 depending on how the board falls.

Zinmer’s defenses from what I’ve read are very disciplined, but the TOs are middle of the pack, meaning this may be where the drop is. But I also tend to think a lot of the TOs this defense creates was a result more of Parsons abilities to create havoc and mess up the timings of QBs then the scheme of Quinn, though he did a good job in adjusting to Parsons ability to create pressure.

I have no belief in Wright as a dependable CB. He seems destined for the CJ Goodwin career STs/emergency CB role.
Let's hope Scott can actually contribute this season on defense.

Or cry like Romo did with his 1 hour long whinefest to the media. Epic.

 

[Bobhaze]

I really like Stephon Gilmore but I cannot imagine him being a priority when this defense has gaping holes in the LB and DL positions. Honestly, he would be a luxury at this point instead of a necessity.

Currently this team is about 16 mil over the cap next year. I cannot imagine that with Bland and Diggs this team thinks CB is a position of need. I could be wrong of course but it seems like re-signing Gilmore would have to be lower on the priority list.

Imagine if he expects him to help in run support. Jerry will have to step in.

 

[MyFairLady]

Quinn, Nolan Miarinelli, Kiffin, Ryan, Stewart, Zimmer. 25 years of DCs who don't know anything. We have had legendary talent thanks to super jerry and these know nothings wasted all of it with poor scheme. Hopefully Zimmer can fix things. Wait a minute is this the same Zimmer from 25 years ago? I assumed it was his kid.

Move bland back to the slot

surely it's always on the coaches, never the players

please leave bland in the slot!!!!!!!
