Tepper insisted on the 3 4 whrn Ron was here and that defense has sucked ever since

i cant see anyone hiring Evero

i heard a respected pod caster talking about how denver’s defense took a step back when evero was there 

he didnt have a lot to work with this year and every team  deals either injuries but for  the love of God, a safety on Lamb…what are you doing  

Cardinals could  put up monstrous run yards With Murray alone 

add to it, the depleted cowboys gave the scheme of how to beat the panthers offense 

add to it, a safety on Harrison jr 😆

I got an interesting name and long shot. 

Steve Clinkscale, with Michigan ties and there’s a few Wolverines at the top of the draft.

Steve Clinkscale

DEFENSIVE BACKS Los Angeles Chargers 
 

Biography 

A 23-year coaching veteran at the collegiate level, Steve Clinkscale comes to Los Angeles to coach defensive backs after a three-season tenure as secondary coach at the University of Michigan (2021-23). He added co-defensive coordinator responsibilities last season, helping lead the top-ranked defense in college football, allowing just 247.0 total net yards per game as the Wolverines posted a 15-0 record and finished by winning the College Football Playoff National Championship. Prior to his time at Michigan, Clinkscale coached defensive backs at the University of Kentucky for five seasons (2016-20) and at the University of Cincinnati for three seasons (2013-15), adding defensive coordinator responsibilities for the Bearcats his final season. He got his start in coaching as defensive backs coach at his alma mater, Ashland University, from 2001-07 before coaching defensive backs at Western Carolina in 2008. Clinkscale then spent three seasons at Toledo (2009-11) as cornerbacks coach/special teams coordinator before coaching cornerbacks at Illinois in 2012.

I understand there is no relationship with Steve Clinkscale, but if we are targeting any of his former players in the draft, it wouldn’t hurt to have a conversation with him. See if he has any interest. 
 

I have a hard time believing we are gonna land a big name coordinator in Charlotte. Might as well explore all avenues.

I may be entirely wrong but I don't really remember Wilks being a great DC when he took over the defense.   I believe he took over after Snow was fired and our defense regressed a lot?  Maybe I'm misremembering though.

When Wilks took over as HC he promoted Al Holcomb to DC. Holcomb struggled and Wilks had to babysit him. We also only had like 3 position coaches on the whole team. With Ben McAdoo pretty much doing everything on Offense. 

Wilks took over as DC in 2017 after McDermott took the Buffalo job. Defense finished 7th I think that year. For what it's worth his Defense in San Francisco finished 3rd last year and Shanahan still fired him.

I think he'll get a pass from the media because the team is so bad top to bottom, seems to be the trend with us right now. No one watches our games so when it's time to talk panthers they rehash old talking points about the few pieces of the team they recognize. Someone will give him a chance as if his stint here never happened.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
