It seems like we all agree and like the talent we have and have added since last season.
So, having said that, Is Shula, in his first year as an NFL DC, the biggest question mark on our D this year?
Will he be able to come up with competitive game plans week after week?
Will he be able to "adjust" in game and at the half when we need him too?
Will he be able to put our young talent in the best positions to succeed?
Will he play soft and scared like Morris did or will he be more aggressive?
To me, Raheem Morris's biggest asset was his experience. It didn't hurt having multiple HOF'er to work with either. lol
Shula doesn't have a fraction of the knowledge and experience that Morris had and will be forced to excel for team that believes they have a legit shot at the SB. That's a lot of pressure.
I love Shula's pedigree and I am sure he is a very smart dude but his inexperience as an NFL might be an issue. I can see Shula getting better as the season goes on but I am hoping for a fast start from him making Shula the next big thing in the coaching ranks!
Now you’ve done it, dude. You’ve gone and touched the ‘3rd rail’. lol.
I think Shula will prove to be an upgrade, tbh.
He may not have the years of experience that Morris possessed, but he has studied under Phillips, Staley, and Morris for 7 full years and Shula seems very smart. I think that 7 years under successful DC’s is more than enough runway to launch a very successful career.
Besides, he got McVay’s blessing when McVay could have chosen practically anyone he wanted. And McVay’s ability to hire successful assistants is his superpower.
So I’m all in with Shula as DC at this point.
