No doubt, sounds like he needs polished players to work with kind of like PA.
No thanks. Wanting Elko, Pleasant or Rex Ryan (cannot believe i am saying this) now.
Rex Knows the AFC North very well and was a very good DC.
Was just wondering about his personality but if Taylor likes him for us i am all for it.

He did help turn Eli Apple around this year when he came from the NYG.

The Saints produced a lot of Turnovers and TD's on defense.
That said, he was a DB Coach...not their DC.
Man...getting all these inexperienced guys might turn out ok...but this could really blow up in a 4-12 or 5-11 way.

Yep, DB coach of some high draft picks and talented veteran FAs. Not sure how much credit he should get.

Even if he was a great DB coach, it's a huge step up to DC. That's one thing a lot of people don't get. And we can't even say he's that.

Quote:Sometime last week, the Bengals interviewed Aubrey Pleasant, the Los Angeles Rams’ cornerbacks coach, for the same position. According to Sammon’s sources, Grantham is the favorite to get the job.

If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

I don't know. Just think of all the DC's who were DB coaches and actually DB's in their playing days. Le Beau, Zim, the first two that come to mind. Pleasant is a DB coach...

As you pointed out to me, Glenn was a helluva DB. I'm not really a big Pleasant backer either. The thing with Glenn, I just look at some of the passing defense stats, and the secondary performance is a little bothersome. Of course, he isn't calling the plays, so......

It just seems like a tried and true path to DC and often, on to HC. Maybe it's just me, but I see significance in such details.

Every option now seems like plan M, N, O, P.
This is increasingly embarrassing.
ZT isn't in LA anymore. I'm sure he feels it now.
