First Time HC And An Obsolete Defense...

[jamze132]

I'm praying that we don't run a Tampa 2 but it's looking like it...

What could possibly go wrong?

I believe McDermott hired someone he knew from his Philly days and stayed close to over the years. Assuming he's tossing away his D scheme and handing it to Frazier to run a base Tampa 2 doesn't seem realistic at all. Rushing to connect dots that might not be happening.

I'm guessing Frazier remembers the Jim Johnson era of Defense in Philly like our HC and will know what McDermott wants. That's probably more or the reasoning for his hire. They trust their line of communication as friends who respect each other.

McDermott is not some lost soul on D looking for a scheme. He has one. The Tampa 2 is not the only D Frazier has ever known. He ran with it for a while and will take orders from his new coach.

Did the Ravens run a Tampa-2 with Frazier there? Did the Jags run a Tampa-2 with Babich there? Use your brains people!

You can't blame people for being skeptical. This organization hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt.

He said players dictate the scheme. I like hearing that as that is the first coach to say that since I do not know when. All of the previous coaches wanted to run their system but not let the players dictate it.

That At said it is just words so until we see it next season we will
ever know

Try using yours. Frazier wasn't the DC like he will be here, and Babich wasn't working under a Tampa-2 guy like he will be here.

Anyway, it will become more obvious, or not, if they hire more assistants from the Lovie Smith coaching tree,

They can hire all the assistants from the Lovie Smith coaching tree they want. Unless and until I hear them say they're moving to Tampa-2, they're not moving to a Tampa-2.

Fair enough. But if they say they are you can at least try to keep telling me maybe they won't because I'll be pretty upset.

Re: First Time HC And An Obsolete Defense...

My god. They are not going to be running the tampa-2 defense people. Get a grip.

As soon as they don't hire a Lovie Smith DB coach and say they won't be running a Tampa-2 defense.

Hey, if they say they're moving to a Tampa-2, I'll get out 2 pitchforks.
