Russ Purnell named new Special Teams coach

typical G-man pick, everyone thinks he reached when he was really BCA and fit our scheme.

Who would you have hired?

And what is a typical gman hire? You know that Rivera hires his staff right? Gettleman has not hired any coaches yet.

Sigh... Another old, stoic, conservative guy. He has Omaha Nighthawks experience! How could we pass that up?

Do we really need the fuging Chip Kelly of special teams coaches? Who is it, by the way? I'll settle for not getting punts blocked twice in a row. The dude was in the NFL for over two decades. I'm sure he's at least somewhat competent.

No, but I would at least like to see some new young blood in the organization. Someone who will come in and pour his heart and soul into the position. There are tons of college coaches out there licking their chops at the chance of an NFL gig.

 

It seems like the organization just held a meeting and said, "OK, raise your hand if you are willing to coordinate Special Teams."

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
