Meeks is in control of Defense

[dexterpyro]

With our first two picks of the 2009 NFL Draft, I think it is safe to assume that meeks has 100 percent full control of the defense. These are not plays Fox and Trgovac would have drafted. This is a good thing for us. Fox's defensive scheme is outdated and preditable. We added a good Pass rushing DE who will need some work on the run game compared to Freeney. And a saftey/nickel corner being compared to saftey on the colts

We will some more of the same tommorow adding depth to the lines and some BPA"S.

With Meeks running the D we will be a top 10 if not top 5 D

I don't see the logic in this.

Fox is a great NFL coach. Why is it just assumed that because the defense looks to be making some changes that Fox had to totally give up the defense to Meeks and only Meeks would make these picks? Fox was known to run a lot of cover 2 early on, even verging on a Tampa 2 scheme. If anything I would say these picks along with Fox hiring Meeks show that Fox is the one making the changes and Meeks was brought in for his knowledge of the scheme and the fact that Fox would trust Meeks with the defense under his supervision.

We will pick up a DT tomorrow but I think the rest of the picks will be offensive. But I agree Fox is listening to Meeks. If fox was doing it we would have taken a DT first.

I'd say conversion to pure Cover 2 is definitely possible.

See what we do tomorrow and we will know.

I don't know, but I sure HOPE he is letting Meeks run the defense.

We know what happens when Fox steps in.

Everette Brown is going to be a STUD pass rusher. There is no doubt in my mind that this kid is going to be one of the best pass rushers in the league in the next 3-5 years. I don't know what we are going to do with Pep and I know that he is a freak yada yada yada. But I am not concerned at all with the DEs we have now. If Pep ends up leaving next year then Brown will be ready to step in and take his place.

This is a very good football player and an even better person...very active in the community already and to me that shows a commitment to excellence which IMO is something that is way undervalued as opposed to pure physical skills.

I just watched a few minutes of him and he put the "Freeney spin move" on a VT OT...same dimensions (a little taller) and same playing style as DF. We got ourselves a good one this year.

I say we draft 2 DT.

What the hell is up with the dolphins avatar? Just because they drafted your boy Pat White?

When the Panthers traded up I honestly thought that they were going to take White. Mayock and Gruden had been talking him up for the past three or so picks and Brown didn't even cross my mind before the pick came in.

The tampa 2 / cover 2 is in full effect and Fox has gave control of the Defense completely to Meeks. Brown is a Meeks player, size, speed. Everything about that pick screams Meeks.

I don't know, I still have a strong feeling that we are gonna pick up Dwayne Robertson, I think that has been part of the plan all along, just waiting for cap room.

If we could get Jarron Gilbert that would be cool, he is a tweener of DT/DE, his versatility might fit Panthers betters, but we have to move back to the beginning of the 3rd of course...

May be San Fransisco's 4th and our 3rd would do the trick....
