perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Thinly veiled shot at McDermott


QuoteThe Eagles' new defensive coaching staff gathered for the first time Wednesday morning, and it wasn't hard to imagine the group taking Sean McDermott's playbook from last season and ripping it apart.

While none of the coaches assembled directly said it, the complexities of McDermott's defense - of which there were many - will be abandoned in favor of a scheme that is more primal in its approach. Each made use of the word simple, or some form of it, when asked to describe what kind of defense new coordinator Juan Castillo would employ.

Of course the defense will be simple. The coordinator hasn't coached any aspect of a defense in decades. Simple is the perfect word for what this defense will be.

On why Washburn wasn't interested on being a D-coordinator.

Quote"I'm a trench dude. I can help out with the crunch stuff, and I've got some ideas, but that's not my deal," Washburn said, when asked about overall strategy. "I tried to be a coordinator one time [with NFL Europe's London Monarchs in 1992], but I sucked, I was terrible. I just couldn't do it, I wasn't wired that way.

"[Jeff] Fisher interviews me at Mobile 15 years ago and says, 'Hey Wash, do you want to be a head coach someday?' And I said, 'Nuh-uh.' He said, 'Well, do you want to be a coordinator?' And I said, 'Well, I already did it and I sucked at it.' He said, 'Well, I got it. You want to be the greatest defensive line coach in history, right?' And I said, 'No, I want to coach the best defensive line in football.' "
Washburn was quite enthusiastic about defensive end Cole, whom he'd had dinner with a few years ago at the Pro Bowl.

"My guys at Tennessee were sick of me talking about Trent Cole . . . I think he's a really good player. That's a guy I really screwed up on evaluating college [talent] . . . We talked for an hour [Tuesday] and didn't really talk about football. We talked about huntin'. He bought an assault rifle 4 days ago that I bought 4 weeks ago."

If any of the assistants is leery of working under a coordinator who hasn't coached defense, they certainly weren't saying so yesterday. (And, really, who expected that they would? They like having jobs.)

"It's a really interesting development," Washburn said. "I know one of you fellas had 'WTF?' on the [Daily News front page when Castillo was hired]. Matter of fact, I took a picture of it with my cell phone, sent it to all my homeboys. Anyhow, I think it'll work. It's gonna work. Why not? He's a smart guy . . . He's a passionate guy, and the guy can teach."


Washburn's a straight up G. I like him.

Seems like everyone (including Castillo) is banking on Washburn being the main cog in turning around the defense. Makes sense since Wash is the only one outside of Lynn that has coached a day of NFL defense before in his life.

exactly...i fully expect plays to be drawn up in the dirt at least thru the bye week


in mcdermotts defense with the talent he had to work with he probably thought the only way they could make plays was to fool the other team
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

The more I look at that group, the more I'm convinced they're the local NAMBLA chapter.
