i know that more than a couple people have mentioned the LB coach of the Pittsburg Steelers as a possible replacement for JG. I touched on this subject on another thread.. but i though it deserved its own post..
how do you guys see this?
now, i am going to go on a couple of assumptions here... both or neither of which could be correct.
1. Jerry Gray is as good as gone.
2. Greg Williams would be willing to part with his 46 defense if TD told him to.
Now.. my opinion is this..
say we go to a 3-4. what personel changes would need to be made?
D line - Pat becomes a NT.. he is a slasher anyway, and i think he could do it.. i believe he played it well under Wade. Schobel stays at one DE, and we keep Ahonatu around for another year. we have Jones getting into the mix next year. We could go after a FA DE (douglas, KGB, Holiday)... dont write of Denny just yet either, he's a rookie for pete sakes.
LBS - I think that we all agree Robinson is as good as gone. Fletcher stays. I believe the 3-4 suits Newman MUCH better, and could take advantage of his pass rushing skills, much like porter/gildon. Spoon will be coming back from IR, and showed alot of potential. hate to see him waste on the bench behind Fletcher. we hit the FA market for a OLB (Spikes) and possible ILB (claiborne or brooking). i am also under the impression that this is a good year for LBs in the draft for depth.
DBs - Wini and Clements are set in stone. Coy stays as well. PP becomes a back up. possibily draft here? are there any good free agent FS available?
just thoughts here guys...
how is it that Tampa always has such a good defense? are ALL of there players really that good? i dont think so.. they have 6 very very good players.. well in my opinion we have 6 very good players on defense too.. we just need a better scheme.. any other ideas on what we should do about the defense..
i am interested to hear wys opinion on this...
did i just say that?
