No one wants to be hitched to Fox's wagon, it's much more sensible to leave now when you can plausibly pretend it's due to your own ambition, rather than wait until next year when Fox gets the axe and you're just so much unclaimed baggage.<BR/><BR/>I am glad to see Trgovac gone. The woeful defensive game plan in the Arizona game was by itself reason enough for someone to get fired, and let's be honest here Trgovac *was* fired, albeit in a roundabout way. The change in coordinators might not make a huge difference, since ultimately the buck stops with Fox, but it can only help.square.wavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043191714623975110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-10492565452768232132009-01-22T16:08:00.000-05:002009-01-22T16:08:00.000-05:00I think it ought to be asked why the sudden mass o...I think it ought to be asked why the sudden mass of defections? Fox has been known for his loyalty to his coordinators and staff. But it seems everyone is bailing for different pastures. As far as I know only McCoy and Flajole are moving up to coordinator positions. Has something turned the coaches against Fox that we don't know about, are they getting muscled out from higher up in the organization (to perhaps win back Peppers), or is it truly about wanting change for themselves?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475151449875850388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-65219667103770257332009-01-22T14:11:00.000-05:002009-01-22T14:11:00.000-05:00Ok, now it's time to hire Sean McDermott as DCOk, now it's time to hire Sean McDermott as DCJim Schollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837423138438598598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-22064932856564118542009-01-22T13:48:00.000-05:002009-01-22T13:48:00.000-05:00Dan henning please, he pulled a high school stunt ...Dan henning please, he pulled a high school stunt and used an un orthodox formation.

We didn't have a...You're missing the point, Scott. We didn't have a problem with the defensive philosophy. It was the play-calling and timing of those plays. Look at Fox's other DC during his tenure: Jack Del Rio. He was a master at disquising when we would blitz. That lead to many more sacks, turnovers and 3 and outs. If I had a dime for every time that I told my TV the Panthers would blitz and where, I would have a new 60 inch Sony by now. <BR/>The second point has much to do with John Fox, but ultimately I think the DC is to blame and that is the intensity with which the players play, how well they are motivated and accept what you're doing. If you've never played football or served in the military, you wouldn't get this. But it fires the players up when you attack. When you devise a great plan and ruthlessly execute it. Look at the games when the D played best, the games when the plan was obviously to attack. Even if you aren't blitzing, you let the other team know that you are going to crush them on every tackle. What I saw much more than that was a, "please don't go down there and score, we want to win." Del Rio motivated our players to the point that they made every tackle a train wreck for the ball carrier. To illustrate my point, who watched the game between the Ravens and the Titans in the Div play-off? OK, the real fans of football raised their hands. When that game ended, the Panthers and Cards came on. By the end of the first half, it seemed like a different league. The Ravens D and the Titans D were tackling like the other team had just raped and pillaged through their hometown. The Panthers were trying to grab the guy, then fall down, WEAK! That is part Fox, but mostly Trgo. Del Rio's play calling and intensity got players fired up and ultimately meshed perfectly with Fox's laid back style. But two laid back guys (Fox and Trgo) don't really light the fires. So, for two reasons, blitz TIMING and ability to motivate his players I am glad to see Trgo...go. I only wish Jacksonville had fired Del Rio.Drew Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861261587767363994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-13513876539779895112009-01-22T12:26:00.000-05:002009-01-22T12:26:00.000-05:00Here's the problem with Trgovac.. look at the last...Here's the problem with Trgovac.. look at the last 7 games of the season.. Statistically, we would have finished 30th overall in Total Defense had only those games counted. The two DT's miss two games and the rest of the defense not missing any... Are you suppose to not gel and continue to grow together on defense? <BR/><BR/>Our defense played worse and worse the longer the year wore on. 8 of Peppers 14 1/2 sacks came against KC, Oakland, Green Bay and Detriot. Not exactly powerhouse offenses. He disappeared when it matter most as always. <BR/><BR/>Yes, it might seem that we are ticked simply because of the Cardinals loss in the playoffs, but I've disliked Trgovac for going on close to 3 years now. When you (Fox) hang your hat on defense and for the second straight year in a row finish below average on defense, there has to be changes. <BR/><BR/>4 of the games we won were absolute miracles by the offense. Chicago, Green Bay, New Orleans, and San Diego.<BR/>Detroit 22<BR/>ATL 45 pts<BR/>GB 31<BR/>TB 23<BR/>Denver 10<BR/>NY Giants 34<BR/>NO 31<BR/><BR/>That's 28 pts per game given up by the defense. Explain to me how someone shouldn't lose their job.<BR/>I have watched the Panthers defense taper off from being 2002 (Del Rio's only year) 2nd, (2003 SB)8th, 20th, 3rd (2005),(2006)8th, 16th, and 2008 18th.. it's pretty easy to see why the Panthers didn't go any further. This defense isn't that good..Lax coverage from the DB's constantly, No real pressure outside Peppers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
