S.T.real,lights,out Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well, the ESPN experts are saying we need an offensive minded coach. I disagree. We need a D minded one and a good O coordinator. We also need to cut/replace about 5/11 of the D including the entire secondary. Having watched this year's Niners team..I think I would take them over that 2005 and 2007 Skins D. The DL & LB core of the Niners is ridiculous. BTW - Alstott still didn't score on the 2 pt conversion. ****ing cheating refs. I think the biggest issues with our D is the line. The line cannot generate any pressure on its own. We really need a Justin Smith or Watt style player to make things easier for everyone else. Obviously those guys dont grow on trees but i think if we could add a guy like that our entire D would be better. It's easy to cover a guy for a few seconds....when you have to cover them for 5 seconds thats another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect them to franchise him. Other than that, the Skins will need to hit a home run in the draft for DL help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just was telling somebody about this when they said we should spend money in the secondary. It doesn't matter how good the secondary is, if you aren't getting any pressure on the QB.

Mr. Sinister Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Probably 05. Don't get me wrong, 07 was a good defense too, but that 05 D was crazy. Yeah but it was mostly our pass defense. That pass D was like some Star Wars ****. Run D took a step back after Antonio Pierce left. We got gashed in some games. '04 was crazy as well. That was back when blitzing was more popular. Man we blitzed the hell out of people. Pass D was outrageous, Listen to the names: Smoot, Springs, Walt Harris, ST, Ryan Clark, Matt Bowen. And we routinely stuffed the run with dudes like Salave'a and Cornelius Griffin. They were good. Real good. Best defense I've ever seen us field. ..................... 2013 started rough for me as well. Had to deal with the death of my grandmother. Went with my father to take care of the estate and bury her, and I'll never forget seeing everything sitting out in the house as if she went upstairs, but was coming back down. Fire department had carried her out hours earlier, so we could see where they had to break in, and I also saw the meal she was eating still on the table. I'll never forget it. Had to deal with seeing my father (who's the strong no tears military type) break down in front of me for the first time ever. That trip forever changed our relationship. Then my health took a nasty hit with the flu bug. Had to help my brother sort things out after his divorce. Transmission in my car went out (had to reach into my savings and take care of that. It was hit after hit after hit. Things got better from August onward though (met new people, formed new, fruitful relationships), but I'm ready to close the chapter on 2013. If there is a silver lining somewhere, I can say that it helped me grow as a man. I'm more prepared than ever for the crazy **** that life can throw at you. After all the stuff I've endured from '08-'13, there isn't much that I haven't experienced, and I'm still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Looks like the Skins are interviewing Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott for the HC position this weekend. I don't think he will get the job but it's good to hear they are thinking about D too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think this franchise takes a step back if they don't hire someone who knows what to do with Robert. The next year or so is about his development so we can have him as a starter for 10+ years. If we fail with the next coach and RG3 is not a priority, we are looking for a QB in the 2016 draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Wow people are simply amazing. They still believe Dan controls everything includes play calling and personnel decisions. how clueless are people It shows that on top of very stupid people, there is also a lack of communication from organization to fanbase. Like it or not, Snyder is just a very invisible guy (not that people would listen to him anyway), so that leaves the rest of the team to be up front with people at least in that regard. But People simply will not let the past go (not that I blame them 100%) and let it influence their thought process in the present. On top of that, pretty much of every news outlet here still operates off of the Snyder Hate Machine. Sites, newspapers, talk radio, etc. Thats bad, and it further drives a wedge between the team and the fanbase. It's one of the many frustrating things about this ordeal. Even more frustrating when you see people who you know aren't that stupid, falling for it hook like and sinker. Perception is reality nowadays. There is just way too much blowback against the team right now for things to get any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Goddamn if the two part A Football Life: Lombardi isn't up there with the best thing I've ever seen on TV. I appreciated him before but man. The naming of the SB trophy after him is legit. And what a shame he was just barely here. I'm old enough to remember the end of Gibbs I, ESPECIALLY the last Super Bowl, but goddamn this show has me hoping we get the coaching thing finally figured out here. It's so overdue. It can be so special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The Colts have the worst fan base in the NFL. They are about to get blacked out from a playoff game lol I think two other teams have the same problem. I half way read an article earlier about it. Just looked at it. Bengals and Packers also. EDIT: You clearly haven't traveled much for games. Falcons, Jags, Panthers and several others have worse fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yep, I remember a Falcons MNF game back in the mid 90s, blacked out...no Hawks game, and before we got the Thrashers, so there was no sports on TV in Atlanta that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give Cincy and Green Bay a little slack, not much, but no slack goes to the Colts. Again, it's a PLAYOFF game, IN A DOME! They should have sold out in seconds...

CrypticVillain Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 That's not good for the NFL if Green Bay can't sell out a playoff game. Wow. Yeah, I agree with this. I think the NFL has to adjust it's blackout rules now. If Green Bay is struggling to sellout a playoff game, you take notice. Well in their fairness, it's supposed to be ridiculously cold there Saturday night. Not that it has stopped fans from going before, but I'm sure that plays a part in it. Yeah, and it's not... IN A DOME! lol I mean I get that more and more people are electing not to go to sporting events because of the advances of technology. I myself haven't been to a Skins game since 08, but that's got more to do with my church duties and whatnot. But even if I could, I wouldn't go every week.

Kosher Ham Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Part of it is teams out pricing the average fan. The economy doesn't help with these crazy ticket prices (especially in cities like that). The teams will sell the tickets at an insane discount is what I expect to happen. Or the NFL will give some slack with the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
