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?

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
