Rahim Morris

I know Tomlin said both coordinators are returning, but would anyone like to see Lebeau retire and us hire morris or singletary?

 

Never singletary. He's a damn head case. He'll moon the fans next.

 

It will be the LB coach....he has been here so long he probably is the heir apparent, and probably knows Lebeau's 3-4 and all his secrets. When healthy and the right players in place this D is still relevant. It it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Butler would provide the most consistency.

 

You don't think that so many teams run the 3-4 now that the league has figured it out alittle bit? I know this year we ranked high, but it just seems to me that teams have caught on. we had a low sack total because qb's get rid of the ball so quick because the db's traditionaly play of the wr. Maybe Butler would bring some new ideas I dont know. I like Lebeau, but it may be time for a change

 

Lebeau kind of stopped creatively blitzing with the CB's and ILB's. Part of it might be age, but other part is he knew this year his players were not good enough to risk take too many chances.

 

When did he say that? I listened to the news conference yesterday and all I heard him say is that there are always changes after the season but wouldn't or couldn't elaborate.

 

I thought I read it on here somewhere in a post. it is possible that I misunderstood. although I dont Tomlin lets either one go, my guess would be the choice would be theirs

 

I would not crown the LB coach the immediate replacement if Lebeau retires. He needs to have some innovation on how to bring back the zone blitz and how to utilize it because Lebeau did not use that part of his play book.

I remember when you would see a different type of blitz every week. And then by week 14 you was seeing week 1 blitz packages. I have not seen one blitz use this year that resemble anything Lebeau use to use when he had Greene and Lloyd. Or even Porter and Haggans for that matter. I would not anoint Butler the successor of Lebeau just yet.

 

That is what I have been missing. where did all those exotic blitzes go. we look so vanilla now.I think this group of lb's are as good as any group lebeau has had. I know they have more speed. I remember seeing greene stunt inside and blowing up a center on a blitz and knocking him into the qb. all harrison and woodley do is rush up field.

 

wasnt Lebeau when we had Greene and Lloyd it was Don Capers

 

it is the same scheme though isnt it? I mean they worked together didnt they?

 

yes same scheme Capers learned from Lebeau but dif coaches add there own dif winkles to the scheme
