Tim Lewis: Dynamic
Our dynamic foray into the minds of the coaching staff continues as Eric Williams (TNT) offers up this dynamic piece on Tim Lewis, Dan Quinn, and Robert Prince.
While more of an article on the people themselves, we are offered a few dynamic tidbits:
“It’s really dynamic,” said Lewis, who has been involved in many defensive schemes during his 14-year NFL coaching career. “It gives me a chill. ... This is going to be a dynamic group. I’m not so sure if they wouldn’t refer to this as the West Coast defense. It’s really neat to have as many people with as much experience as we’ve got on our defensive side.”
It certainly is nice to see a coach excited about the prospect of his players, although his dynamic love for "experience" is worrying. I'm going to assume Lewis is not crazy enough to continue letting The White Shadow roam the field.
Wide receivers coach Robert Prince also had this to say regarding dynamic former Husky Reggie Wililams, whom he coached in Jacksonville:
“We had a good relationship,” Prince said. “For whatever reason, it hasn’t turned out as well as he wanted. And I know he’s a free agent and I do have a relationship with him, but we’ll look at all the options with all of the guys.”
All interesting stuff, and you get a chance to see a bit of how coaches come up through the ranks. Quinn's siter-in-law and Mora's wife worked together at Nordstroms, and this helped get Quinn the job?
There is no way that a new coaching staff would be unable to recognize the ineptitude of Russell, right? I'm curious to see how the staff handles the combine aftermath and draft, as that will hopefully answer most of our defensive backfield questions. Dynamic.

Says Nothing
Reading the article – Lewis makes no point except for “West Coast Defense.” What the hell is that?
"At the end of the day you’re still looking for the best players," said Quinn
Yes. But at the end of the day you still need to have some sort of a scheme fitting those players. Or maybe his scheme is: ‘experienced’ and ‘best’. The White Shadow may yet ride again.
i think by "experience" and "dynamic group"
he was referring the coaching staff, not the players. that was my first impression anyway, though i could see how you could read it the other way.
That's a good point. It really isn't clear which he is referring to, and that quote could be used either way.

Yeah, I thought he was referring to how all the coaches have various backgrounds of defense
and it will exciting to see how it meshes together. And I doubt that Russell will be starting next season, because even someone who isn’t experienced about DB play can plainly see he’s beyond terrible. I liken it to the Marcus Pollard situation in 2007, he’s pretty bad but there wasn’t much to do about it until to draft a future replacement.

If Brian Russell covers Reggie Williams in training camp...
…will it create some sort of interstellar void over the VMAC?
oh geez
brian russell wiffing past while reggie williams drops a perfectly thrown ball might just start the apocalypse
It will bring about the End of Days, of this I am certain.

Not quite.

Brian Russell could very well be back
But he won’t be starting. I am pretty encouraged by the coaching hires this offseason and I would have to imagine anyone who is involved with football for a living can see that he shouldn’t be starting, no matter what is said publicly.
That said I believe it costs the same to keep him as it would to cut him – so he could be a veteran backup/special teamer.
But there’s a handful of guys in this draft that would start over Russell from day 1 and be pretty good:
William Moore
Louis Delmas
Patrick Chung
Rashad Johnson
Derek Pegues
Michael Hamlin
Hamlin or Pegues with our 3rd rounder being my ideal choice.
Pegues and Rashad Johnson have major red character flags that'll probably
take them off Ruskell’s board.
