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.

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
