One more word about Willie Martinez. I listen to Mike and Mike in the morning, every morning. I love it, if you haven't heard or seen it, check it out! On the show this morning Mike Golic brought up a great point about defenses. Dog fans liked the fire in BVG and when he left fans seem to think that a lot of "attitude" left with him.
Golic seems to think it revolves around our defensive scheme - "bend but don't break"
Fact is that football players like to attack, right? Well in a bend but don't break defense you read the offense and then react, there isn't really an attack mode. This is why you see a defense that isn't jacked all game long. They are giving up plays by design, they aren't being let loose to attack the football. Should Willie let them fly? Or is the best scheme for the Dogs a bend and don't break?

Just me I prefer the attack. I know that Willie was the coach for the defensive backs under BVG and produced such hitters as Thomas Davis, Greg Blue, Sean Jones, Demario Minter, Tim Jennings,...(is that enough proof)
He can coach DB's...remember he was in the BOX upstairs when he did this. I know he watches the film from above, but that is AFTER the game. Maybe he needs to call the game from up there live..I dunno. I think he knows defense and can coach it, I just cant put my finger on that small part that seems to not fit. I am not on the "FIRE WILLIE" crew, but I do want some better results.
Dawgs to the end!!!
Go Dawgs
