I don't recall the Colts defenses being "really" good, they were certainly better than what we fielded this yr (which is saying nothing) but "really good" seems like a stretch.

Zimmer's defenses were the Prescott of defensive numbers. Great against bad teams and horrible QB's, choked like hell in crunch times and big games.

And Gannon implemented his defense the last 3 yrs in Arizona, and the results were awful.

Scoring defense:

2023: 31st 2024: 15th 2025: 29th

Total defense:

2023: 25th 2024: 21st 2025: 27th

his regular season defnsive overall rankings as a DC/Asst. were really good, not sure if injuries or whatever played a role in the bottom falling out

definitely not a fan of his time with AZ, but its the 1st stint as a HC, so that happens. some coaches are just better off as a coordinator than a HC

ulbrich is good too

i mean, really just go down the list of candidates (college or pro) and anyone would do a better job than eberflus

We shall see.

NO C Walker is pretty connected there at The Star, he is also intimating that Schotty never really wanted Eberflus.

 

[dbair1967]

Wonder what QW knows.

He was great with NYJ when Jeff Ulbrich was DC (Whitecotton also on that staff)

 

[dbair1967]

a package deal of Ulbrich and Mike Rutenberg would be a great start to the offseason

 

[dbair1967]

Not surprisingly, players seemingly hated Eberflus

 

[dbair1967]

Even the offensive guys hated Eberflus

He aint wrong

and Jimmy was the best there ever was at it

gannon was a scout too

 

[dbair1967]

I absolutely hate this. Jerry is such a piece of shit.

I absolutely hate this. Jerry is such a piece of shit.

Jimmy knows what he's talking about though.

 

[dbair1967]

I understand what their point is and it shouldn't be completely downplayed, but these guys also made a ton of great catches to make him look good too.

That said, way too many drops (again) this year.

 

[dbair1967]

There's irony here with this story too.
