Wow...Ron Meeks is 32nd?

"32. Ron Meeks / Panthers — Meeks was let go by Jim Caldwell in Indianapolis, and his simple approach forced head coach John Fox to become more involved in the defense and find ways to take advantage of Julius Peppers and a ball-hawking secondary. SCOUT'S TAKE: "He's not a proven commodity as a defensive coordinator. John Fox made some bad choices adding to his staff and has ended up having to overcoach himself. The run defense was a problem for Meeks when he was in Indy — it was too vanilla — and little has changed (since he arrived) in Carolina."

i don't know about 32nd... but it does seem that meeks' system relies on having the best athletes consistently making outstanding plays on their own. At the end of the season it started to work. But the schemes and positions he puts the players in does seem vanilla and simple for the offense to understand.

Good thing Meeks has a system that makes use of our stellar big play making athletes eh?

We could still have that Trgovac soft zone that makes it so that even the stellar athletes are rarely in a position to make a play.

Dan Morgan did say that Fox has his finger on everything in the organization, and that he's taken over the defense in the past when things aren't working so I guess it wouldn't completely surprise me if there was some degree of truth to this statement. However, calling him worse than the Giants or Lions D-Coordinators is laughable.

Two spots above Meeks is Bill Sheridan, who was fired after turning one of the league's best defenses into one that saw teams score more than 40 points on them several times last season.

Meeks, on the other hand, fielded a top ten defense that only improved as the season went on, despite injuries to several key players.

What a completely ignorant choice for the worst defensive coordinator in the league.

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
