Im not sure why no one is talking about McDermott more. Behind Luke, TD, the Kraken et al's performance was the mad scientist, orchestrating a symphony of destruction. He deserves a good bit of credit for slapping Brees around.

 

Chico gave him a shout, but I havnt seen any articles running with it.

 

 

 

 

 

. . and I know this thread isnt much, but somebody had to post something. . Daymmm!

I've seen some articles and heard some commentators mentioning/crediting McDermott... I think the problem is the perception (true or not) that Rivera is calling the shots on defense and McDermott is just following the game plan devised by Rivera. 

 

Either way he deserves more credit in my book, the defensive play calling has been excellent and he's the guy in the booth.

Just think how much better this defense would be with some decent DBs....

 

We really just need one more corner... White hasn't been bad but at best he's been "OK" at least in my view. There's a reason why opponents attack his side of the field. With our front 7, if we can find ourselves a Richard Sherman we would be totally lights out.

On one of his WFNZ appearances, Smitty said White's problem was that he hit the rookie wall pretty hard. He still believes he'll be a good player, though. Said he's a hard worker and is very coachable.

They also asked him what the deal was with Josh Norman. Smitty didn't sound quite so confident about his future (hinted that his work ethic needed improvement).

because some people are convinced that Ron is the only coach responsible for the defense

Every coordinator that works under a head coach known for being involved in one side of the ball has that issue.

Take the Saints as an example. Do you believe their OC can function away from Payton well enough that you'd hire him as a head coach?

Probably because all the snarky posters thought it was so cool to call him McDerp, now they just keep quiet. McDermott was thrown under the bus in Philly to save Andy... They lost a good DC.... Our gain... I think the mix of him and Rivera is lightning in a bottle.

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce).

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
