Ron Meeks Is New D-Coordinator

[frash.exe]

Like the Meeks signing. Pass defense should really improve.

The dude can't be any worse than Trgovac. I'm alright with it. :yesnod:

Hard not to like a defensive coardinator that was getting head coach sniffs as recently as last season. He was brought in for three or four interviews before the Redskins hired Jim Zorn to take over there.

His system didn't really fit with having Mathis and Freeney over there... though he helped make Bob Sanders a star. Meeks' main selling point here is that he gets a lot out of his DBs and that is what we need. The Colts were bad against the run in the last few years he was there but that shouldn't be a problem here with the LBs we have roaming.

I didn't see too many LBs roaming (or at least tackling) when the Giants rolled up 300+ yds rushing. We need some run stuffing DTs, I don't care who the coordinator is!

Let's all go out and buy Tony Romo jerseys, .

I'd rather eat the peanut filled turd of a homeless man.

Well that's over. Welcome Coach weeks.....Now get other coaches in so you can maximize evaluating talent (along with the scouts) for the draft.

I'm really happy with this signing. I hope Meeks can bring more to the table than turg did. And I don't care what scheme he runs, as long as it helps us win games and help us get to the Super Bowl next year I don't care

Ohhh, rough. :ack2:

Yes Man hire.

This will begin the end of Fox in Carolina sadly.

Well look at it this way: Fox will have a very big motivator behind him in Meeks to do well. Perhaps that alone will keep Foxy's hands off the D.

I'd hate to see fox go to, but: it is what it is. :wink5:

[outlaw4]

Yes Man hire.

We hired Jim Carrey? :confused:

I'll hold reservations about Meeks like I did with Davidson when he was initially hired. Let's give the guy a chance before we sign petitions and create websites to get the guy fired.

What's sad about that.. ?

Good riddance to him, when he finally goes.

Question is how much of what Meeks ran was his own or Dungy's scheme. How much he will be able to adapt to play Fox's scheme. Sure DC's have their preferences and tendencies but I have also seen them change what they do. Look at Cunningham under Edwards. He ran a passive zone concept which is 180 degrees from his preferred style because it was what Edwards wanted.

Meeks will run Fox's scheme because that is his job. How much he brings to the table to improve what we have we will see.

I think he fits pretty well. Colts were never really good at stopping the run due to their lack of size so he'll be able to have a field day with our D.

Good job Panthers.

As long as he knows what to do in certain situations, I don't think it matters how much Fox has his hand in the defense.

For example, "Hay, maybe I should cover this Fitzgerald guy.."
