I am not sure you can learn the intangibles it takes. I would have thought he would have learned enough from Dungy not to need the occasional help.

In all fairness his defenses while not great against the run still ranked top 10 in Indy. I am sure Manning had something to do with it. But still he has been pretty good especialy with this offense or lack of it. How much of the help was needed versus Fox butting in and asserting himself.

Did someone really just say Meeks could be our Monte Kiffin ?

BFABABABBBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol:

Yeah I said it. Meeks employs the same system and has had good success here. I don't know if there are many guys who can coach the Tampa 2 as well as Kiffin but Meeks is our version. Maybe not as good but I wonder how good we would be if we actually had an offense which could score points and control the clock. Plus we have not have the DEs to run a Tampa 2 since Peppers left. And we have never had the safeties to run it effectively.

Tony Dungy has never had a below op 10 defensive team regardless of the coordinator. The problem is Meeks has never been the DC under an offensive minded HC.

Sorry but I don't think Meeks could do much more than he has done.

He is a decent coordinator, but not great.

Probably shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Kiffen.

You really think he could more with this collection of young inexpereinced players??

The Tampa 2 requires great experienced safties, a middle linebacker who can cover the pass and DEs or a combination of DTs and DEs who can pressure the quarterback.

We have young inexperienced safeties, a MLB who is taken out in passing situations and we get no pressure at all from the defensive line which has been gutted.

Exactly what more could he do??

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
