Athletic ‘Signal stealing or ‘tells’ by Bucs Coen. Too bad DC isn't good at


Recommended Posts

I guess some coaches are smarter than others      It sure seemed like they knew what the Panthers were going to do beforehand and this goes beyond just film study 

kudos to them   

 From the Athletic 

Quote . As the undefeated San Francisco 49ers prepare to host the 2-1 Jacksonville Jaguars, 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh was asked Thursday what the biggest challenge would be, specific to the Jaguars.

“Jacksonville is a very young but a very talented group,” Saleh said. “(Jaguars head coach) Liam (Coen) and his staff, a couple of guys coming from Minnesota, they’ve got a — legally — really advanced signal-stealing type of system, where they always find a way to put themselves in an advantageous situation. They do a great job of it. They formation you, they just try to find any nugget they can.

So, we’ve got to be great with our signals and we’ve got to be great with our communication to combat some of the tells that we might give on the field,” Saleh continued. “They’re almost elite in that regard, that whole entire (coaching) tree, from Sean (McVay) to Kevin O’Connell to all of those guys. They all do it. So, there’s challenges. They’re going to catch us in some situations where they have the advantage and we’ve just got to play good, sound fundamental football and do our best to out-execute them.”

Coen was asked about Saleh’s comments on Friday.

I’m not going to speak on that fully right now,” Coen said. “(We) have a huge game for us coming up this weekend. We’ve got a great defense that we’ve got to go and attack, and that’s where our whole mindset and mentality is right now.”

Coen was pressed further, with a reporter asking if figuring out “whatever tell your opponent has” is part of a coach’s job.

Smart coach. Good attitude too.

Im a little shocked Bowles was able to find him as an OC after losing his OC the year before. For a deffensive HC to keep finding decent to good OCs is a huge hurdle. Look down at the Texans. The best DCs to HCs don't figure out thr other side very often and they can make a mess of it like that more often than not. 

I think we got the wrong one honestly. That is a quality HC or at least a guy who has a good chance of turning into one.

I can’t believe the Texans fired Slowik. They really had a bizarre offseason
