How Crucial Is It For Broncos To Keep Wade Phillips As Defensive Coordinator

... comeback yet as Broncos GM. Kiz: Every NFL coach, especially a guy who gets his first shot at being a head coach in this league, deserves the chance to build a staff as he sees fit. So I don’t think Elway should give an ultimatum to the next coach of the Broncos to keep Phillips as the defensive coordinator. But the wisdom of the Wadester could help the next coach of the team from becoming the next Josh Mc Daniels. Jhabvala: Broncos defenders trust Phillips. They respect him and they appreciate how he allows them to do what they do best. They’ve said this many times over, and I think it speaks to not just his knowledge of the game, but his ability to relate to players and manage a group that has many strong personalities. Not every coach can do that, and after watching him lead the Broncos’ defense the last two years, I’d argue that’s his biggest strength — one that shouldn’t be tossed aside so easily. Kiz: Defensive genius does not begin and end with Phillips. So long as the Broncos suit up linebacker Von Miller and cornerback Chris Harris Jr., the Denver defense can be championship material. Nevertheless … call me sentimental, ...

Will Washington Make A Run At Wade Phillips

... here when he was passed over for Barry so what does that have to do with anything? “And it’s possible that the availability of Wade Phillips, regarded as one of the great defensive minds in the game, has motivated the decision to part ways with defensive coordinator Joe Barry.”. It’s also possible that Florio had to remove his head from his own arse before writing this nonsense. Jan 5, 2017 3:58 PM. I think the Russians are hacking the comments section. Jan 5, 2017 6:01 PM. Mockery. Whatever. Jan 5, 2017 8:42 PM. key 2 heat says. Jan 5, 2017 2:57 PM. Wade Wilsons biggest problem is that he wont discipline players. Wilson cannot handle Mr. flag Norman. FYI Norman counts for $20 MILLION against the 2017 cap. The Redskins will have around 68 M in cap space (7 th most & before cuts) and 10 ...

Wade Phillips Wants To Stay With Broncos, Laments Being Unemployed

... and Fraudger Goofdell will belatedly ban him. robfootball says. Jan 2, 2017 6:21 PM. They would be insane not to keep him. The new HC’s goodwill with the fan base would evaporate instantly. mlhigh says. Jan 2, 2017 6:23 PM. He has been a great asset for the Broncos. I hope he stays, yet again, the new HC will want to mark all the corners of the franchise with his choice. Elway will make the call. I hope he is kept. Denver owes him that much. maust 1013 says. Jan 2, 2017 6:25 PM. Look on the bright side Wade. Maybe you can hook on with a team that hasn’t shot it’s load and get a chance to go from unemployed to a SB victory again. war 27 says. Jan 2, 2017 6:29 PM. Once his contract runs out you know Oakland will be ready to throw some major cash at this guy. dxfiler says. Jan 2, 2017 6:32 PM. Wade would be a fine head coach for the Broncos. Probably won’t get it as my guess is they’ll want to skew younger, but they’d be out of their minds to get rid of him as DC. bannedfromchoirpractice says. Jan 2, 2017 6:34 PM. I’m surprised he can still do it physically, at his age, and as overweight as he is. But, his services are always ...

Can Wade Phillips Cure The Oakland Raiders’ Defense

... is a plethora of potential coordinators. Currently, Ken Norton occupies the role of defensive coordinator. At the same time, the defense appears listless, which is a telling sign. Yet, anyone who faithfully watches the Raiders can see possible room for a change. The solution could be a division rival. Wade Phillips: Denver head coach Gary Kubiak retired due to health issues. This leaves his staff in an unbelievable state of flux. Critics will use Phillips’ age (turns 70 on June 21 st) as a negative. In contrast, people tout Pete Carroll as a youthful leader. Truthfully, Phillips is only four years older. Why Hire Him: Phillips, unlike Norton is brilliant schematically. His scheme is flexible in its creation. Plays maintain significant freedom. For instance, the defensive lineman’s duties simply include the man in front of them. Phillips’ down three play a one gap scheme. This minimizes over thinking and places the game in the hands of the talent. Forcing round pegs into square holes throws ...

With Wade Phillips Gone, Will New Names Emerge In Redskins D-coordinator Search

... year Jay Gruden took over as Bengals offensive coordinator. Urban coaches receivers, and arguably his biggest task was the development of then rookie wideout A. J. Green. In the six seasons since Urban and Green paired up, the results are outstanding. Green is one of the best receivers in football with more than 7,000 receiving yards and 49 touchdowns in 86 games. Along the way, Cincinnati has developed plenty of other contributing receivers, players like Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu. In 2016, __link__ named Urban their assistant coach of the year, pointing out Green was on his way to a career best season before injuries limited him to 10 games. It looks like with Sean Mc Vay's departure to the Rams, Gruden will take back over play calling duties for the Redskins. So, should he go outside the organization for an offensive coordinator, what might be one area of great concern. The development of 2016 first-round pick Josh Doctson. Achilles pain limited Doctson to just two games in 2016, a largely lost season for the rookie. But as Washington prepares for a 2017 season possibly without De Sean Jackson or Pierre Garçon, the team will need a lot more from Doctson. Urban has a ...

Wade Phillips Would Be A Fit Anywhere

... fire and one reason why was their constant roster churn. The Jets used an NFL-high 75 players during their 5-11 season (down from 10-6 last year). They were followed by Chicago (71), Arizona (70) and San Francisco (69). The Jaguars used 66 players, tied for 12 th-most. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh used the fewest players (58 apiece). n On Sunday, Miami plays its first postseason game since after the 2008 season (lost to Baltimore) and its first road playoff game since after the 2000 season (lost at Oakland). Miami’s last road playoff game was January 2000 at Seattle; Jaguars fans know what happened six days later (62-7). n Atlanta’s Matt Ryan getting the nod on the All-Pro team over New England’s Tom Brady should serve as a major indicator for NFL MVP, which will be announced the night before the Super Bowl. It was Ryan’s initial first-team nod. He threw a career-high 38 touchdowns and a career-low seven interceptions (after 30 the previous two years). n One reason why we thought the Falcons would stink: No pass rush. Atlanta was last in the NFL in 2015 with 19 sacks. This year, Vic Beasley, drafted five spots behind Dante Fowler and had only four sacks ...

Vance Joseph Open To Wade Phillips' Return, But Calls It 'work In Progress

... with Wade; we talk three or four times a week. That’s being considered. If Wade wants to be here, that’s going to be talked through. I would absolutely consider it, but it’s not worked out yet. It’s a work in progress.". Joseph and Phillips were on Kubiak’s staff with Houston and worked together on a defense that finished No. 2 and No. 7 in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Joseph, who has spent his 14 years as an NFL assistant on defense, did say Thursday that he does not want to call defensive plays, so that could open the door for Phillips to return. Joseph also extolled the virtues of current Broncos secondary coach Joe Woods as a future defensive coordinator. Woods, a bright coaching prospect, would be in line to be the Broncos' defensive playcaller if a deal for Phillips' return doesn’t get worked out. "Joe’s a bright coach, and he’s obviously ready to be a coordinator in this league," Joseph said. "Joe is a guy who can obviously defend the NFL pass game. I love Joe; I’ve been friend with Joe for a long time. He’s a great ball coach.". Said Broncos safety T. J. Ward : "Joe would do a great job. He did a great job with everybody in the secondary. He ...

Vance Joseph Grew Up Under Wade Phillips

... When he was asked if he would be an aggressive or conservative play caller he continued to talk about Wade and how he "grew up" under him. "I think every game is going to be different. I grew up with Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and he is aggressive all of the time. That’s Wade’s deal. Every game is going to be different and I’m going to call the game to win the game that day. It can be conservative, it can be aggressive, but it’s more about the team and how the team can win the game that day.". Again, Vance sure doesn't sound like a guy who wouldn't want Wade Phillips to be his Defensive Coordinator. In fact, it might be the perfect scenario for Joseph. Getting his first Head Coaching job and having a chance to have someone like Wade Phillips who considers a mentor and friend, and someone who says he grew up under to ...
