Doesn’t require cap room or a roster spot.  It has a Tepper Steeler connection and only requires RR to acknowledge that he is willing to listen.  Make a call to a HOF CB/Coach who is considered the father of the zone blitz.... Dick LeBeau.  He was let go by Tennessee last year and is a football junkie with an enormous wealth of 3-4 knowledge.  Bring him on as a consultant and open your ears and minds.  He not only has front seven expertise but early on as a secondary coach almost always oversaw double digit interceptions. We could use a “Godfather” with Super Bowl experiences.

I wouldnt be opposed..

 

But with Rivera in full control calling plays, I have full confidence in his ability to call an elite defense. He is as good as any

 

It may also cause a rift

It's not about the play calling but more about the fundamentals.

Wouldn’t be mad if he did but I really don’t think it’s necessary... Ron had the #1 D in SD running a 3-4 so he knows what he’s doing. 

Also, I’m pretty sure Ron doesn’t want Tepper thinking he needs help with his own defense

If I were Tepper, and I just double checked my bank account and I am not, I would be fine bringing in as much help as possible. Not a sign of weakness trying to get better at something you are already good at.

Can you elaborate on this? He got let go but is still under contract? 

It is possible...sort of. Coach signs a 3-year contract and is fired after year 2. He may have offset language and/or other restrictions that are tied to his ability to receive the year 3 salary.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
