Who Can fix this Defense?

29 years, theres only been 1 man.

Come on, come on i know you can answer it. Who is it?

Whos your Dallas Cowboy Daddy?


yea you know who it is.

Until he changes, the Empire stays put. And dont think Stephen will go upsetting the gravy train.
 
Nothing that a few good defensive draft classes can not cure.

I don't think any DC can be successful with this bunch.
 
Right their wrong and bring back al Harris. He has Nashon Wright playing well. 99 percent of this board told me he was the worst corner in the NFL.
 
A real GM that works with the HC and a real DC to formulate a plan and execute it. It’s not going to happen.

oh man i like Patricia, he's called great defense when ONLY a DC. Hes been in College a few years now learning that game and some of it is transitioning to NFL so it would be good to have someone with some knowledge of how those things translate.
 
Wait i got this...another GM like many of them could probably fix this...no one in this FO.

Jim Leonhard enters his second season with the Denver Broncos and first as defensive pass game coordinator/assistant head coach in 2025. He was hired by the club on Feb. 14, 2024.
Under Leonhard's coaching in 2024, cornerback Pat Surtain II became just the second player in franchise history to be named Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year. On the season, Surtain allowed the fewest passing yards (306) and second-lowest passer rating when targeted (59.1) among cornerbacks with at least 375 coverage snaps per NextGen Stats.
As a team, the Broncos allowed the sixth-fewest passing touchdowns (22), touchdown to interception ratio (1.5) and passer rating against (86.2) among all NFL teams in 2024. With the assistance of Leonhard's coaching, Denver also posted its first winning season in eight years in 2024 as well as its first playoff appearance since the 2015 season.
An eight-year coaching veteran at the collegiate level, Leonhard joined the Broncos after spending time with the University of Illinois (2023) and University of Wisconsin (2016-22).
In 2023, Leonhard served as a senior football analyst at Illinois after spending seven seasons at Wisconsin, including six years as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach (2017-22) and one season as defensive backs coach (2016). Leonhard also spent the last seven games of the 2022 season as the Badger's interim head coach, leading the team to a 4-3 record.
In his role as defensive coordinator, Leonhard oversaw one of the nation's most prolific defenses, ranking first among all Power-5 teams in first downs per game (15.4), third-down percentage (30.8) and yards per game (288.0) from 2017-22. Leonhard's defense also placed in the Top-5 in interception yards (1,337—2nd), takeaways (132—3rd), interceptions (87—3rd), touchdowns (157—T-3rd), interception touchdowns scored (11—T-4th) and points per game (17.9—5th) in that span.
A 2017 finalist for the Broyles Award—given annually to the best assistant coach in college football—Leonhard was responsible for the development of four Associated Press All-Americans, nine All-Big Ten first-teamers and the 2021 Big Ten Linebacker of the Year in linebacker Leo Chenal.
Leonhard led a Badger's defense in 2021 that averaged only 239.1 yards per game, the third-best mark in school history and the fewest yards allowed by a Wisconsin defense since 1954. His defense also became just the second FBS team since 2008 to allow fewer than 70.0 rush yards per game for a season, giving up just 64.8 yards on the ground per game.
In 2018, Leonhard's defense posted four shutouts—the first Big Ten team to do so since 1962—while limiting opponents to just a 27.2 percent conversion rate on third down. They also set a new school record with 51 sacks, led by All-American outside linebacker Zack Baun (12.5) and All-Big Ten inside linebacker Chris Orr (11.5).
In his first season in 2017, Leonhard oversaw a defense that ranked second nationally in yards per game (262.1), third in points per game (13.9) and third in rush yards per game (98.4).
Leonhard's impact could be seen in his first year as a coach in 2016, leading a secondary that helped spur the second-most interceptions (22) in FBS while helping Wisconsin rank fourth in scoring defense (15.6 ppg), seventh in total defense (301.4 ypg) and 10th in pass efficiency (106.9). Leonhard also coached cornerback Sojourn Shelton to first-team All-Big Ten accolades that season with four interceptions while team MVP safety Leo Musso grabbed a team-high five picks."

i like him too. he's young and innovative. I also like the Patricha Guy someone else said both have college on there resumes and can bring some knowledge of what they are doing in College game.
 
No DC even Prime Belichick could win with this talent. You maybe have 3 NFL starters. Hard to win when 8 of your starters aren’t even average

he would be perfect, you sign him and draft his LB and Safety and we may be cooking!
 
Our defense is so bad, they should have another 4th and Long competition, and winner gets to coach the defense rest of year. :p

This is more of a question of WHO do you think Schotty could go out and find to fix this thing. (IF JERRY LETS HIM).

Looking at College Defenses and Pro Defensive coaches Who and what scheme would fit our personal now. Jerry has too much money tied up in players to go out and dump salaries and get new guys in. So realistically WHO could come in and right this ship.

No One could make chicken salad out of this chicken poop.
 
No single player can fix this defense.

Having Parsons would have only made the defense slightly better, but would not have made them the defense that they need.

Same frustrations would have surfaced in the locker room that apparently came up last year.

This seasons problems started in March (free agency). Problems start and end with the GM.
