It’s not a coincidence that after he retired the entire Titans defense and all their players turned to crap. 2 minutes ago, DonOfThemBirds said: Pees had top defenses with the Pats. Was pretty good with the Ravens for the most part along with a SB. Had the 3rd ranked defense with the Titans in 2018 and 12th ranked in 2019. Titans haven't been able to rush the QB much at all this season with Pees retired. My issue was that his defenses were middling. Which would be an improvement from where we’ve been but there is usually a significant decline. Wade Phillips would be an ok hire. If Smith decides to be HC/Play caller, I wouldn’t mind these hiring a because they could work autonomously more than a fresh faced dc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying much, but he’s done well everywhere he’s gone. ike barn87987 and Fernando C. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He would be a good pick too. I had him paired with Brady if he was the HC but I’m glad we got Smitty. How about Austin and Pees Francis York Morgan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had a transition period at the end of the Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata, and Terrell Suggs era and still made them into a top 6 defense before leaving Baltimore. He made the Titans the 3rd ranked defense his 1st year and top 12 with less talent the next season. Atlantafan21, Ergo Proxy and PapaJoe 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Almost all his defenses were top 12 at worst though according to what A-Town posted. At worst, he did a good job with the LBs and S on the teams he coached. At S especially, he’s consistently made guys look like pro bowlers or even All-Pros. The one negative I see with him is that his defenses haven’t had dominant pass rushes from recent memory.

Phillips has a more one gap approach, so Donald was able to stay at 3-tech and penetrate. Pees has always had more of a two gap approach.

I would imagine so, but that still might not entail using him at his full capabilities. Like we were running odd fronts last year to start the season (and getting gashed while doing it I may add) ... Grady’s the type of player who played it but it wasn’t doing what he did best. Ergo Proxy and DonOfThemBirds 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That defense was rolling until they traded everyone. And his scheme is more of a fit for what we already have. You get Pees, you’d have to break some things to get it running.
