After fours watching Ron you should know that Ron will play him at CB because that gives position flex...... a phrase I hope I never hear again from the new regime

The sad part of this is there is some truth to it.

Forbes, BSJ, and everyone else in the secondary have to be excited to this move. Dallas has put their secondary in position to make plays not wait and react to plays.

This is how Rivera coaches defense:

Alright, you're a good safety, but can you play outside linebacker?

I don't really feel this way. He knew, or should have known, just what type of man he was getting into bed with. He was not dealt a bad hand, he put himself in this bad situation and then failed miserably at every aspect of the job. I grew tired of his excuses such as claiming this was a young team when the truth was it was league average in age. He asked for full control of personnel and then turned into the worst talent evaluator we have ever seen in Washington.

He IS a good guy and I am glad he beat cancer (for now) but I'm not going away from this feeling anything good about Ron Rivera.

There's no telling what type of crap Snyder told Ron in the interview process. Hell, Snyder touted this "coach centric system" in Ron's introductory presser, and then proceeded to force Ron to stick with Haskins.

I don't want to sound like a Ron apologist, we all know he did plenty of crap on his own to aid in his demise with his personnel decisions both on players and coaches. But some of you sound like Ron was coaching for Robert Kraft or some other amazing owner.

Snyder was terrible. He meddled in QB decisions at least twice in Ron's tenure (Haskins and Wentz), was sucking the team for money and who knows how this affected free agency, and there's all the harassment and fraud lawsuits that I'm sure were a distraction. You could combine Steve Walsh, Joe Gibbs, and Vince Lombardi into a single coach, and that coach would likely fail under Snyder.

Ron didn't get it done, I'm sure he would do a lot of things different if he had the chance, but it was an almost impossible job with the "coach-centric" BS and Snyder's shit pile of issues he dragged the organization down with.

But it's done, time for everyone to regroup and move on.

Amen to that.

"Position flex" needs to be incidental--not a primary reason that we pursue anyone.
