Coach of the year so far.

No it’s not a clickbait title.  

I just want to give props to Perry Fewell.  What a damn good job he has done. With  primarily the same players from last year, the secondary has been great.   Yes the front 7 is better but you could also say the front 7 is better because of all the coverage sacks so far.  

Our secondary is balling right now.  And that’s an unusual sight here recently. 

Amazing what can happen when the owner puts pressure on a coach to get rid of his friends and hires competent position coaches.  

 

Chase Blackburn gets honorable mention for the award as well.

He seems to be just as valuable as the FA (McCoy, Irvin, Paradis, etc) pickups. I know Jalen Ramsay HATES him, mainly cause he is a hard-ass and focuses on details. Terrible combo for these new-era players, but he sure is an improvement over the guy that replaced the fired DB coach.

Tre Boston has been awesome and no on is talking about him. 

 

And when you actually have a real DB coach and not Richard Rodgers from last year, you have a secondary that can ball out.

Tre is playing well,  better than I thought he would. I was hoping for "good enough", but here's been a solid pick up so far.

Yep, upgrading at FS, secondary coach, and pass rush has made a world of difference.  Cockrell bouncing back string from that injury is a big boost as well. He's a very solid vet CB.

They tried to pick on cockrell today and he made them pay. He was awesome at nickel last week and didn't midsa best on the outside today. Love it!

  • Deshaun Watson recorded 160 passing yards on 21-of-33 passing with no touchdowns for a passer rating of 75.3. It marked his fifth-fewest passing yards in a game, and lowest yards per attempt (4.84) since his NFL debut in 2017.

When Ron is callin the defense bc his ass is in the hot seat, this is the kind of defense you get. How soon will he give it back to Wash?

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
