If they get a good replacement I don't imagine there will be a decrease as long as they keep the same players in the secondary.

I hear Rob Ryan is available, he is pretty good, he kept a Dallas defense that never had anyone healthy on it in the game. I mean they were hiring CB's off the street for most of the season and I don't think any of the D line played the whole season. Ware their main guy couldn't stay healthy for sure. Show me another DC who had half as many issues as Rob did and did half as well with them. One of the most confusing firings I've seen yet.


How do you not fire the head coach after firing all your coordinators? I mean the head coach's main job is to coach the coaches....If your coordinators aren't doing their job, your head coach isn't doing his..anyone can use timeouts wisely and manage the teams clock.....oh wait...nevermind.......Dallas is a hot mess.
Shortly after Gus Bradley was announced as having left, there was another announcement.

Seahawks have now hired Dan Quinn (Florida DC) to replace him.

As far as the defense, I think a lot of the style will be retained, as Carroll is more of a defensive mind than anything. Hopefully we can shore up our playcalling so that 40 yard drives (Chicago and Atlanta) at the end of games for field goals don't happen anymore. Sigh.
