The defensive coaching staff is starting to round out.  Reports indicate we've hired former NYJets DB coach Dennard Wilson to serve in the same capacity here.

Interesting 

"After his short-lived NFL career, Wilson coached Rodney McLeod at DeMatha and then later coached McLeod with the Rams from 2012-2015 before McLeod joined the Eagles in 2016."

I'm sure the scheme in which the DBs play is more of a determining factor to overall pass defense rank.  Our pass defense always stunk in Schwartz where his scheme pretty much hangs DBs out to dry.  The best DB coach would likely still have the same results as Undlin and Manuel did here.

We don't  know that his secondary is tied to the schemes the defensive coordinator tried to run. Schwartz's scheme did a good job of making the secondary looking worse then it was

Oh I get that, but those numbers in a vacuum are still cringe worthy lol.

Dont worry they will be fast 

No, they will run a 4.5 40 at the combine but he'll draft them anyway because of that one time they claimed to have run a 4.3 40 in practice.

Man those numbers when he had a talent like Jamal Adams in his secondary too.

I mean... He's got to be given the talent to work with to be fair? I feel for Manuel.

It still amazes me how much better the CBs we got rid of played last year for this new teams. Maybe Howie wasn't that awful at picking DBs, just a bad DC was here.
