So I will give him a stamp of approval on this one. He's cut from the same cloth as LeBeau in terms of defensive style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeater Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Possibly a one year orientation and trial period to prove he can take over the DC job year after next? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakingeek Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Experience is a good thing. On paper this looks like a good hire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know for sure that Vrabel will call plays, even if he's "running" the defense day to day. Do you think he would be as good calling plays as Pees?

Pees was a legendary type play caller imo. But Haslett is not a bad play caller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he doesn't turn into Jeff Fisher Lol. He's controlling in a different way than Fisher. Vrabel is much more controlling when it comes to football and training operations than Fisher. But Fisher was much more controlling organizationally and when it comes to personnel. He basically wanted to be team president/CEO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, but he will listen from what I can take grom him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I was hoping for either him or Gary Gibbs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we couldn’t expect to get one as good as Pees. He was responsible for a great deal of the teams success. Nobody had shut down the Ravens all season.

The big hitters on defensive philosophy and game planning are going to be Vrabel/Bowen/Haslett I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 By all accounts, Vrabel was already heavily involved in game planning and we already know he's a hands on HC. This idea that it's a catastrophe is comical. We don't even know if Vrabel will be calling the plays...... The important thing is that the scheme isn't changing and that's a good thing.

It wasn't like Pees was going rogue on defense and there are elements of the unit that have to improve - namely red zone efficiency and the pressure rate.
