McDermott a head hunter?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/02/hobbs-says-mcdermott-told-eagles-players-after-safety-film-nothing-changes/

Per CNN.com, Eagles cornerback Ellis Hobbs explains during the film the 2009 injury that resulted in his cervical spine mimicking a jelly donut, with surgeons going through the front of his neck and moving his voice box out of the way in order to insert a cadaver vertebra into place “like a Jenga piece.”

But the more intriguing revelation from Hobbs comes when he talks about the safety film the NFL sent to all 32 teams after the October 17 rash of helmet-to-helmet hits, which included a severe concussion being suffered by Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson after a collision with Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson.

“Not 10 minutes after that film, we went into the defensive meeting and the D coordinator [sean McDermott] got up and said, ‘Nothing changes about us. Nothing changes in your guys’ mentality,’” Hobbs told Levens. “I mean, we all knew that anyway because we want jobs. I don’t really see anybody with a job who can’t tackle.”

Still, the fact that Hobbs would so candidly admit that the man in charge of the team’s defense would essentially say “ignore what you just saw” is surprising. (McDermott was fired after the season, with head coach Andy Reid explaining that the shadow of the late Jim Johnson was too large for McDermott to fill.)

maybe my comprehension skills need fine tuning, but "‘nothing changes about us. nothing changes in your guys’ mentality," doesn't mean you have permission to break the rules...it means do not change the mentality of the defense. do not let the new rules dictate how you play on the field mentaly.

i believe it was chris harris or jon beason who said he hits a player and worries about the fines afterwards...if/when they come.

imo the more you have to think before you make a hit("is this legal or not" because there's too much obscurity in the rules left for individual refs to decide), the more likely you're gonna get hurt or gonna get someone else hurt.

If they want less injuries, maybe they should focus more on teaching how to hit properly instead of scaring players from hitting with heavy fines. Besides, at this rate it's only a matter of time before they decide "oh players suffer from microconcussions during each game, all these added up lead to longterm brain deterioration, we should just switch this to flag football"

that is one of the most blatant examples of the media trying to start some poo that I have ever seen...

excuse me, or the OP reading into nothing...

I'm not saying anything about McDermott being a headhunter, it's just what the article implied. Interview between Levens and Hobbs is on CNN.

I think it's been slow in the NFL news this offseason, so stories like this have been regular. I'd like to see how many fines Eagles players received before and after the NFL issued that tape on safety. And that article confirms McDermott was fired because of the shadow of Jim Johnson. Hopefully now that he's in Carolina, he'll have a chance to carve his own legacy. I don't see anything in the article that blatantly said "go out and hurt people." Just that he didn't want the tape to soften his defense, and to undermine what he had been teaching.

    • Until this defense can stop giving up 200+ yards a game on the ground, I don’t want to talk about offensive additions.
