Rc2catch Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 So Cleveland is going to the 3-4? AGAIN. Baffles me. Who would want to drop Myles garret into coverage? They switch defenses like refs blow game day calls. Constantly. I know wade can mix things up but they really don’t have the personnel to go back to it again. 3
MJS Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Has Wade been slipping as a defensive coordinator? He used to be the cream of the crop. Why do teams keep letting him go? 2
Rc2catch Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Just now, MJS said: Has Wade been slipping as a defensive coordinator? He used to be the cream of the crop. Why do teams keep letting him go? If I understood correctly LA wanted to go back to the 4-3 defense to get Donald more involved as the DT. And they apparently aren’t sold on Clay Mathews and donte Fowler rushing from the outside.
YoloinOhio Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Neither one of these hires seem good for the Browns. Berry was in their FO when they went 1-31. Worked with Sashi.
Freddie's Dead Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Wade Phillips will whip that D into shape. If Superfly can get his head right, the Browns might be on the rise. 1
WildBills Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Why would the DB coach of the Bills wants to go to the tire fire that is the Cleveland Browns? 1

The only thing I can think is he gets a title promotion and then Butler sees a path to something more. Maybe the hire last week of the Dline coach and former Panthers DC has him questioning if he will get the DC in Buffalo when Leslie moves on.
Billy Claude Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Wade is 72, so maybe he thinks will be easier path to be dc?

Wade doesn’t run a 3-4 like you're thinking of.

It looks like the Bills wanted to upgrade the position with Eric Washington who was the DL coach in Carolina when McD was there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Washington_(American_football)

Wade can coach a 43 defense really well if he chooses too.
ALF Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Phillips runs a 4-3 under scheme, which would be a slight change for the Browns, but what has made Phillips so successful is his ability to adjust his scheme to his talent. https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/news/reports-cleveland-browns-to-hire-wade-phillips-andrew-berry Sounds ok if true. The Rex Ryan 3-4 still leaves me in shock of that system. Browns to interview Paton as GM The Browns have their new head coach in place, and it appears he might be bringing someone from Minnesota along with him. Vikings assistant general manager George Paton is expected to interview for Cleveland's vacant general manager job, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the situation. This development is significant, Rapoport added, because Paton hasn't always accepted interview requests, but is close with Kevin Stefanski, whom the Browns announced Monday as its new head coach. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001096558/article/browns-announce-stefanski-to-interview-paton-as-gm Similar to McD wanting to bring Beane with him , that works Edited January 14, 2020 by ALF 2
MrEpsYtown Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Surrounding a young, first time head coach with older guys who have done it for a long time is the right move. If Stefanski makes it, they will move on from Wade when they don't need him anymore. Essentially, Stefanski does not have to worry about teh defensive side of teh ball.
