Bowles hired per La Canfora...

[Lagerfilled]

The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Todd Bowles to become their new defensive coordinator.

 

[vinnymac]

I am looking foward to see what he can do.

 

[JeffGollin]

And Jurecki is reporting that we're near signing WR coach Daryl Drake (Bears).

I just Googled Drake. Reviews aren't stellar. Then again, it's the Internet, so what can you expect?

Ian Rapoport - NFL Network Crawl, 10:25 pm ET Saturday - "Bowles & Cards have agreed to terms..."

I sure hope our players will still be able to tackle.

Remember before Horton they had terrible tackling skills.

At least he'll provide some quality sound bites.

As for his coaching, I'm not too hopeful. The Bears aren't exactly known for their WRs.

Whoopdedoo!

 

[PJ1]

A WR coach from the Bears?

 

[SeattleCard]

Boo. I wanted Jerry S

 

[52brandon]

I don't expect the players to decline in performance at all (tackling, etc). But we'll see what he can do with schemes. I hope he improves on Horton's heroes

 

[Snakester]

So far not impressed with the new coaches. I sure hope arians is the magic man because his coaching staff looks like smoke and mirrors.

 

[vinnymac]

It like BA said I is the players team. It is up to them to want to win. He is there to point them in the right direction.

 

[Garthshort]

Is LaCanfora still with the NFL Network?

 

[JeffGollin]

Is LaCanfora still with the NFL Network?

No.

The man has a very successful track record. He utilizes his position coaches to teach proper fundamentals and technique. That is what a HC should be doing. That will be something new here, as Whiz mostly relied on his star players to go back to their peers to get them to fix bad player habits. That simply did not work, as evidenced by the trait that the same players continued to make the same mistakes week after week without changing their bad habits.

Saw it (unfortunately right before eating). Hope it was written by some disgruntled whacko trying to stir the pot.

 

[vinnymac]

So drake doesn't like to be misquoted or reported he said something when he didn't. Who does. Plus can you name a receiver from the bears that left the team and success with another NFL team. Neither can I.

 

[vinnymac]

I believe that is why their Gm got fired last year.

So do the Jags, which is why he is still under contract with them for two more seasons. Dont know why Jurecki even brought his name up.
