I don't know about you but I don't want any hold overs from Zorn/Gibbs.

These are 2 young smart guys, if they were no good why would the NY Giants be going after them for their vacant DC position? I would hate to see them go to a rival team.

I had thought maybe none of the holdovers would be retained, but I agree about Zimmer & Gray, providing none of Blaches' personality has rubbed off on him. I can't help but wonder what the rookies (including Orakpo) thinks of coming to a team to get their first NFL experience and have your coordinator tell you "he does not talk to rookies".

Those Recievers would think they were 10 times better then they really are during practice. "Holy crap" I didn't know pro defenses played 10 yards off the ball. Man NFL ball is definetely easier then college."

The one thing I noticed about Shannahan's D's were a lack of quality Defensive Coordinators. Bob Slowik, Jim Bates (use to be good but seems to have lost his mojo after 2003), Larry Coyer (was actually pretty good for a while in Denver, probably fired him to early), Ray Rhodes (last time I remember the Broncos having a good D was with Rhodes).

Shanahan and Jerry Gray?

Don't write off Jerry Gray yet.

Does anyone know how they can get Zimmer, when it sounds like a latteral promotion. I was under the impression that latteral promotions are not allowed. Is he not under contract next year.

kinda low bro, do you contribute any opinion other that advertising your own site?

Zimmer became a major reason that cincinnati is still playing football. We have a strong defense that he could lead.

from what i understand, he is in his final year of his contract. they offered him a new contract during their bye week, and he turned it down. i think.

I'm interested in Rob Ryan as well. I think it's a lock Zimmer has the job though. I just have a feeling Shanahan has his team picked out. Some maybe in the play offs and he has to wait some maybe available. It just came to me wondering if Shanahan told all the people he wants to bring in.... "If you hear that I'm taking the job then the owner agreed to bring you all on board for the price you asked." "If you hear it know it's a lock." but he has to wait for some one like Zimmer to be completely done with the play offs before he can move in.
