Nicks a former DB!?!?

Yes he played in college

As much as it may sting to think about, because the Birds did pick 2 CB's back to back in 1st and 2nd........It really wouldn't be a bad thing if Slay and Rodgers started outside CB, with Ringo, Quinyon, DeJean, Maddox and Hall all getting their reps at Nickel/Dime/Quarter.....and then next year bump Ringo/Mitchell to outside CB with DeJean at Nickel, if Rodgers/Slay leave. It's a very good "problem" to have with this much talent and depth at the position.

@@Tasteslikethecolor9 we will do that for sure! It definitely takes a ton of research and film watching to give a complete view of these coordinators, not to mention, they’re always innovating. Once we finish up the players we will do a masterclass on Fangio and Moore as coordinators.

Really interesting yr for our secondary I think competition at outside and inside will spice things up

@@eaglewarrior33check out our episode on Rodgers, it may change your mind about his potential for the slot

should also take into account we traded a 3rd rounder for Ringo. still, draft stock not as high as mitchell as yous said

Rodgers is not going to be a slot corner, he is a great outside corner and he has even said that himself

I can tell yall right now ricks is a dawg on the outside. Projected first round at one point for a reason. May not be right for us but is definitely a NFL cornerback.

I'd go with Rodgers in the slot because I view Maddox as an unreliable option

What I think is more important then his concepts is what he does compared to desai would be nice to see a breakdown on that bc obv the scheme is bend don’t break but the execution and in game adjustment/game planning is the importance distinction

Why do y'all have so many?

Serious (mostly) question to PFR: How much do D-coordinators truly add to a team? I never understood why teams would hire a defensive coordinator -- unless it's DeMeco -- to be a head coach. Definitionally, it's a reactionary "position." I know I couldn't do Kellen's job. (Same with Vic's.) Just, if I said, "Bryce and Nolan, you rush the passer; Jordan and Jalen, you open up lanes or get to the QB, and all of the secondary, stick to your man/zone -- with the linebackers either covering or blitzing," would it be THAT different from an average defensive coordinator's scheme? Know it's the NFL, and Vic is a legend for a reason. But I've never seen, I don't think, a "scheme" beat an offense. If that makes sense.

Defensive coordinators bring immense value to a team, and their role is far more complex than it appears. For example, a DC like Fangio spends countless hours studying game tape to identify subtle tendencies in an opponent's offense. He'll notice if a team runs more play-action on second down or if their QB has a tendency to lock onto his first read under pressure. Using this intel, he crafts a game plan that not only counters these tendencies but also disguises his defense’s intentions, making it harder for the QB to read. When it comes to player development, DCs are instrumental. DCs don't just tell Nick Bosa to rush the passer; they work with him to refine his hand techniques, improve his bend around the edge, and recognize blocking schemes more quickly. This tailored development turns good players into great ones. Take Fangio’s combo coverages, which requires defensive backs to read the route combinations and react in real-time, effectively switching between man and zone responsibilities mid-play. This isn't something players can just pick up; it takes extensive coaching and practice to execute correctly. In-game adjustments are critical. Imagine an offense starts exploiting the middle of the field with crossing routes. A DC like Bill Belichick might respond by dropping an additional linebacker into a zone coverage to clog up those passing lanes, or he might switch to a different front that puts more pressure on the QB, forcing quicker, less accurate throws. So, it’s not just about telling players to rush the passer or stick to their man. DCs like Fangio and Ryans bring a wealth of knowledge, strategic adaptability, player development expertise, and in-game tactical acumen that go far beyond basic instructions. They build defenses that can anticipate and counter complex offensive strategies, making their role indispensable.

Eric made a lot of good points and I'll also add a few more points to what Eric said: there's so much more to coaching than just the scheme. At the heart of it, coaching is teaching. Some people are better at teaching than others. Every coach designs their scheme to be sound and really, they aren't all that different from one another. It's more so small details that are different (who do the linebackers key in the run game, do your safeties play flat footed in quarters or take read steps, etc.) But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you draw on a whiteboard if you can't teach it to someone. On top of that, think about the mechanics of a coaching staff. Is the DC in the booth or on the sideline. If he's on the sideline, he needs someone he can trust in the booth to be a 2nd set of eyes for him. If the DC is in the booth, they need someone on the sideline can be the liaison between the players on the field and the DC in the booth. The DC also has to delegate and trust his assistant coaches in building the defense, game plan and making adjustments. He needs to have the ability to identify good coaches for his staff, and good coaches that they can work with (they will be working together A LOT). There's a lot more that could be discussed, but those are just some examples of things outside of scheme specifically that matter.

@@PhillyFilmRoom And if I could ask you one last, quick question: In today's NFL, would you ever hire a DC to be a HC? I think I mentioned being a fan of DeMeco, but he's such a rarity. Saleh was supposed to be an amazing "CEO HC," and we've seen the shitshow NYJ has become. Albeit, Siri hasn't shown much since his braintrust (Shane & Gannon) left. But I'd have kept Shane over Nick in a millisecond. Granted, the optics of letting go of a 14-3 Super Bowl team HC in favor of his subordinate would've been crazy. Not how Lurie operates. Can't blame 'em. Frustrating is all.
