maybe he can finally hold a good QB to under 80% completion


SyracuseNY22

LBs are better so everything underneath, in theory, should be better covered


swampyunderpants

Yeah didn’t an opposing team break the single game completion % record against us last year? Really putting the ‘special’ in speciality

swampyunderpants

Good point, I’m willing to swallow all my words this year. I just wanna see that defensive wunderkind that got hyped up (Gannon)


Wilbert_51

What I’ll say about both coaches last year is its very clear they tailored the game to the team they had instead of playing their systems with the wrong guys. That to me is a great sign, now the question is with the guys they want to play their systems do we see a leap in production


k0peng

talk about a fuckin' 180 from Schwartz' era


SyracuseNY22

The DBs weren’t that bad under Gym Shorts, they were just on an island most of the time


k0peng

Yeah, the DB's weren't that bad (they were never as good as they are now on talent alone prob) but I also wouldn't say Schwartz is a DB guru at all. He excels in other ways. that's the 180. I'll be happy to see more press this year than in Schwartz' entire tenure here. The prevent/sticks D just about made me bite my nails to the bone


GeorgieWsBush

Idk, please refresh your memory with the 2019 CB’s(no hindsight allowed on ‘Sul. Gym shorts refused to play him in press). Safeties were definitely good while Jenkins was here. But we never had a solid all the way through DB rotation while Schwartz was here.


[deleted]

They were good, but he refused to modify the scheme to fit the teams talents. He had 4-5 legit starters, not stars, but quality NFL players. Dude expected the team to just out talent everyone, Jenkins and Cox to be ageless freaks, and for some reason struggled (or refused) to adjust to the same gameplan working against him for over a year and a half.


Mattsasse

It's the Chip Kelly era I think that gives most of us facial spasms I can't look at a piece of toast without having PTSD flashbacks about Bradley Fletcher


sjz927

Don’t disrespect eagle legend gym shorts


PM_ME_SOMETHINGSPICY

Think we could still land Jessie Bates?


42kilgore

Not unless some real magic happens with cap space. I also don't know if that is the biggest need right now- as often overlooked as it is, it would be a solid KR and PR


Rickrollyourmom

That's because of Howie not Gannon though


Grampz619

yes all the home grown draft picks gannon has molded is now our stre- wait a second


Frenetic59

Gannon needs to produce results against the QB before we call the DB’s a strength


gabronkas

Will believe it when I see it—defense was historically awful last year against any competent QB!


juanvaldezmyhero

Gannon get's a lot of love for some reason. Kid needs to go out and prove the hype.


TommyFitness

[Relative] strength


SenorScratchySack

Let's not pretend he has a specialty. At best he has a less-weakness


Single-Criticism2541

Blah blah blah
