I said it last year. I honestly thought Snow would prove to be in over his head at the NFL level but he impressed me working with what he had last year. A little over a year later and I'm actually wondering if he isn't the secret weapon to Rhule's success. He's been Rhule's DC at every stop and Rhule's teams have always been driven by great defense and decent offense. Phil Snow might be the actual brains behind the operation while Rhule is the rah rah guy and face of the operation.

I think you're onto something.  Rhule definitely comes off as more of a motivator, while Snow is an X's an O's guy.

This wouldn't shock me, even though I was scared to death of him at first to be honest.  Don't think many HC's can translate...even fewer DC's...but here we are.

Good news is I don’t think he’s going anywhere either. He and Rhule are attached at the hip and he’s 65 so not many teams are going to invest time into a 65 year old dude with no HC experience. Looks like he’s ours until he retires or we fire Rhule.

He doesn't want to go anywhere.  He's happy right where he is.  He goes as Rhule goes.

The lack of talent in the secondary last year really handcuffed Snow.

Drafting Jaycee really allows Snow to open up his bag and do different things scheme wise. 

This is still only year 2 of a complete rebuild. Many of you need to relax and remember that. In just 1 year they’ve essentially rebuilt an entire defense. Had our offense been able to hang onto the ball yesterday, the defense pitches a shutout

I'm not making any judgements off the Jets game.  If you had average defensive talent....your defense should of shined yesterday.   Horrible OL, rookie QB in his first start.    

We won't really have a clue about this defense until starting with the Saints game.

For all the attention that Brady and Rhule get, I think Snow is very underrated as a defensive coordinator.  He was almost perfect with his play-calling yesterday.  His blitzes were very timely for the most part, except for the 4th down conversion where I think we could have just used the front four pressure and let our guys cover downfield. 

Put it this way - you can tell which of our Co-ordinators has been coaching for 40 years and which one has been coaching for 4 years....

    • Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.
    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
    • This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
