time2rock Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 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. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-reportedly-hiring-dennard-wilson-new-dbs-coach Pass defense rankings under Wilson: 2017 - 21st 2018 - 24th 2019 - 17th 2020 - 28th
jblah Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 eep. don't know much about this guy but based on those stats doesn't seem good.
NOTW Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 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."

time2rock Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 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.

LacesOut Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Is it scheme or talent? What is more important for a Defense or a DB backfield? I guess the rational answer is that a Coach needs to scheme up his talent.
time2rock Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 This tweet claims Wilson was someone in demand. https://twitter.com/RichCimini/status/1355501594893234176?s=20
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Are they going to give him talent to work with? Otherwise expect the same results.
20dawk4life Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Can't say I like this hire but can he really do any worse?

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. 1
