To make the assumption that a DC knows nothing about offense is asinine.

What do DC's spend countless hours in the film room studying? The other team's defense? Nope. They spend all of their time watching and learning the oppositions offense. In fact, every year they study at least 12 offenses in this league. They take note of what works, what doesn't, strengths and weaknesses.

No, they don't typically have experience in coaching individual offensive positions or implementing the schemes. That's the job of the OC and O Staff. But in terms of what schemes and ideology may fit our personell the best, a DC that has studied a wide variety of NFL offenses in depth may be the ideal choice.

I agree. The same can be said the other way around. There are head coaches that are "offensive minded" and their teams have great defenses.

Ron Rivera's experience as a player and DC will help him pick the best OC for our personnel (and DC too).

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
