Shut down Tom Brady in the Superbowl during his best season in the NFL. Extremely impressive, no matter how far back that was.

No one is going to trade for ford, it’s not happening

That's a pretty atrocious hire, and it cements Veach as Reid's stooge. Reid's myopia for his old buddies is going to hold the whole team back.

The first indicator about the status quo is if Spagnuolo keeps most of our existing coaches. Giving all the coach speak about how good they are and how they can handle any scheme. That means Reid talked to him about it because he wanted a DC who would keep everything close to the same as it was.

I will be shocked if Britt Reid still isn't coaching for us next year.

13 years and 8 years ago respectively......

Who gives a shit if Britt Reid is still here? Jones, Bailey, and Nnadi weren't THAT bad. ILBs and DBs were far worse.

But but but he had talent! :rolleyes:

It’s only impressive if you don’t, yet it’s impossible to do it without it.

And yet Spags routinely coached D's that were worse.

To me, I interpret this hire as a nice breath of fresh air.

Some ppl think Spags is Sutton 2.0.

I'll say this, Spags isn't passive and don't coach like a pussy like Sutton does. At least he is aggressive and will try to attack the opposing offense unlike grandpa Bob who trembles in fear and is afraid to give up the big plays. Im sick of the prevent and 3 man rush and DB's playing off rather than pressing. I think we'll see less of that with Spags.

I remembered with the Giants, Spags ran and emphasized on a blitz heavy scheme which is totally Anti-Sutton. it's about time we get aggressive rather than passive. Im at least looking forward to us attacking more as a defense. That'll be nice to see.

Defense hasn't taken snap #1 under this guy and you all already have him worse than Sutton.....LMAO

I also wonder if spagnuolo will benefit from having an experienced head coach. Thing about players coaches is sometimes they don't manage players well. Romeo coordinates a really disciplined defense, but hes too nice of a guy to manage them. It's possible spagnuolo has some Romeo in him. Couldn't manage his own team, couldn't manage dysfunctional locker rooms under Joe vitt and Ben mcadoo. But he seemed fine under Coughlin. He definitely won't have to worry about that under Reid.

What? Super Bowl XLII was played in 2008. Don't even know where you're getting that math from.

The name isn’t as sexy as Rex Ryan, but 4-3, blitz-heavy is the anti-Bob Sutton. This is what most fans have been asking for, by my gauge.</p>&mdash; Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) <a href="https://twitter.com/pgsween/status/1088570040042115073?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 24, 2019</a></blockquote>

I guess it's possible you could get a 6th or 7th rounder for him, but yeah, nobody is giving up significant draft picks for a player you have to turn around and pay market value wage unless it's a QB.

Andy Reid, his father, the man in charge in KC.......
