Flying Falcon Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I truly believe that he could change our defense to a ball hawking, run stopping defense. We need this change. Thoughts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 What we need to do is bring Jerry Glanville back to run the old Gritz Blitz. Rush 8 guys every play keep 2 CBs and 1 Safety deep in the middle. IMO thats the only hope we have. Remember, Pittsburg blitzed every play, which they always do. It works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Falcon Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Look at his team's rankings: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/SmitLo0.htm And we know it was because of his defenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold4425 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 U do realize Lovie has stunk at Illinois and will probably be fired don't you and he didn't do well as H C at Tampa Bay? Lovie has a good rep but I wonder if it is just a name like people who were dying for Jon Gruden. MM is okay and a a disciple of DQ. He can't help it if his defense has been gutted with injuries and the F O doesn't believe in players with size or making significant moves after the season has started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said DC........Defensive Coordinator. I also said he would not last long at U of Illinois. Our defense wasn't that good before the injuries. It was "all right". Lovie defenses always was Top 10. Lovie doesn't play that pantsy "Bend but don't break" crap we play now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RING OF HONOR Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The problem would be that Lovie runs a different system(Tampa 2)...so the only way it works is if Quinn gives him complete control over the defense...which I dont see happening I like Lovie though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler11 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Complete different philosophy to DQ. We already have one of the best DC's in the game in DQ. The defense should be a reflection of him and if it's not, he needs to take back control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let the WR catch the ball and concentrate on making the tackle instead of attacking the ball in the air is crazy. Lovie defenses attacks the ball in the air, resulting in interceptions.

Manuel cant tackle himself or bring in guys off street hes dealing with players given by D.Q and Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiney_McShine Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 If we couldn't get the Falcons to line Duckett up at FB, how can we expect Lovie Smith as DC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Unless Lovie Smith is a proven faith healer he's not going to do any good with this roster. You can't overcome this level of injury by just shuffling coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defended Superbowl Champs at 15 pts on their own turf. Lovie Smith could not have done better than Manuel. Disagree on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQ's seattle defense was better than any defense ever coordinated by Smith. The scheme clearly works, you've just got to get the personnel to fit it. It looked like we were getting somewhere close prior to all the injuries and I still have faith. Look at Steve Spagnolo who had the top ranked defense with the Giants but the same system with Saints ended with one of the worst defenses in history. Look at Lovie Smith's record away from the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Love Smith was overrated as a DC. He did ok as the Rams DC. Brian Urlacher made that defense great. Not Lovie lol. Just like Marvin Lewis was overrated as a DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
