New Defensive Coordinator 2015

[VTSkins1961]

if Jay doesnt fire than snyder should tell him to fire him. If jay refuses he should be let go.... Whoever they hire they need to go back to 4-3. 3-4 hasn't worked for us..you need a dominating NT for that, which we don't have. 4-3 is easier to draft for, most colleges run 4-3.....

This is why we need a GM. btw. 3/4 or 4/3 is pretty interchangeable these days. Teams put individuals in for down and distance and match ups that most teams are really hybrids

Thank you, the hangup people have with the 3-4 drives me bonkers. We're not even in a 3-4 the majority of the time. Half the teams in the league are technically a 3-4, yet how many "dominant" nose tackles are there really? It's a myth that without one you can't have a good D.

Not saying you cant have a good D without one but our D has sucked since HAZ has been here but I prefer 4 down linemen whether or not you have a a LB put his hand in the dirt.....

We would have sucked under Haz regardless of the front.

[VTSkins1961]

Totally agree

Seattle/NE are perfect examples. You watch those teams and it is obvious they don't follow a strict 4-3 or 3-4.

Hazmat, Foerster, Kowitka and maybe Morris need to go. Especially the 1st 3 mentioned.

Why Kotwica? I don't have any numbers right now to back this up, but the special teams were much better this year IMO, even with all the injuries.

Undisciplined play all year, penalties on returns constantly. It has been better the last 2 weeks.

Every team has St penalties. I'm not sure we have more than others or if we are just aware of every one that we get.

I'd keep Kotwica for now.

Good ST play comes as a result of the athletes that you involve and prioritizing them through practice.

We all know that we will see significant roster turn over before next year's team rolls out.
I'm thinking 15, 20, maybe even more new faces next year.

With that, I expect we'll get faster and younger, but maybe also a little hungrier.

Kotwica has demonstrated success before coming here and I think Kai & Tress are an awesome kicking game. Throw in a true returner & add a little speed and I think we'll be pleasantly surprised.
