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".

I'd say keep on Wachenheim too, he's only been here a year.

I wonder who's defense uses to players strength rather than just following the system. Blanche seemed to force square pegs in round holes.

Thanks for the support tryfuhl somtimes I like to make a premptive comment to stop people from saying that

No problem man, the less we have specific topics the more our stuff stays buried/hijacked.

I posted this on another thread:

Shanahan should look no further than Jerry Gray or Kirk Olivadotti. Zimmer is still with the Bengals as they are in the playoffs and can't agree to a contract till their season is over. I hope Shanahan decides to give Gray a shot at DC, that's the least the Redskins could do for putting him in 2 fake interviews to meet the Rooney rule.

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.

Zimmer seems to be the favorite with Gray as a possible fall back.

JLC is reporting Jim Haslet as a possibility too...

Shanahan's defense could be run by Zimmer or Haslett | ProFootballTalk.com

i would really like this. his defenses were always very aggressive. im not to high on Zimmer

[skinsfan69]

Zimmer is no nonsense hard ass who will get in guys faces. On top of that he's a top DC IMO. He's got Cinn defense playing very well all year long. Anyone see the Hard Knocks? How can you not like Zimmer?

[Chico23231]

I favor Zimmer...I would like Gray to stay on staff if that is possible. Slowik wasnt too great in Denver so I hope he is not running the D...Like it or not, the Defense is the strength of this team by far and we need to maintain that, so I dont know how I really feel about going to 3-4 at this point, that is pretty drastic change. Our personel on that side of the ball is pretty damn solid as well...If we just moved Laron to SS obtained a solid Free safety, move Rak to the Line permently and inserted a vet OLB, tweaked the scheme to slightly more aggressive, I dont see why we cant be considered in the top third in the league on D...
