Piggybacking off Mr. Scot's thread, but deserving of a thread of his own...

Linebackers coach Richard Smith. Under his watch this year, Thomas Davis was showing tremendous improvement before his season ending injury. James Anderson before this season appeared to be a guy who was a wasted third round pick, doubtful to even make the team and now he's done a more than competent job of filling in for Davis. I don't think we even need to talk about Jon Beason. Dan Connor played pretty well in spot duty against the Patriots. Even Landon Johnson wasn't terrible when he was forced to play. This is another member of our coaching staff that I hope sticks around.

I`d agree with that. Smith has done a good job.

The defensive staff turnover from this past offseason has gone fairly well.
