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....

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
