Official Fire Jonathan Gannon Thread

[sharpe1027]

Before any DC intro press conference, you should have a bingo card including phrases like "flexible", "fast", "aggressive", "turnovers", "fundamentals", and "rush the passer". EVERY DC says the same things.

Too true! I would add "simplify for the players so they can play (fast/aggressive.""

I guess we shouldn't be surprised they aren't describing their coverage schemes and how they plan to disguise their blitzes to a room full of reporters.

Gannon's defenses so far from Family Night via Acme Packing Company: https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/g...s-family-night

• Base 3-4 (same as last year with Sorrell for Gary and Franklin for Walker. Right now Brooks and Brinson are in for Wyatt and Hargrave [JH is back practicing now])
  .
• Nickel
  • Normal Nickel (same as last year [see above] but Bullard in slot CB for one of the interior linebackers)
    .
  • Cheetah Package (remembers Aces? This is what Hafley called his ultra pass rush set in nickel, Gannon's name not known yet. LVN moves to DT likely with Wyatt and Cox Jr. and Oliver are the ends now)
    .
  • Mug Nickel (another way to pressure while in nickel but keeping the extra CB in coverage. Cooper and Franklin near the LOS, Sorrell to sideline when Bullard comes in as 3rd CB) (when you saw Parson roaming the interior of the O line in pass rush last year, that was Hafley's Mug nickel)
    .
• 3-Safety Penny (this one is new to me but its described as 3 safeties in the back with 2 CBs (so nickel) and Coop replaces LVN at EDGE. Meant to play the run when you send in nickel package to match offense - Cooper gives you more coverage and speed from EDGE than LBN would. Recall Preston Smith in occasional coverage)

Mosqueda didn't see a dime package Friday night, something Arizona did a lot of.

General impression is that Barryn Sorrell seems to be more Enagbare than even Gary. Solid and physical against the run. But not explosive in the pass rush. So for passing down and distance, he is getting subbed out for more explosiveness.

What if the media puke is Dianna Russini? She may not have the prettiest face in the known universe, but damn, her body is hotter than a red dwarf star.

FYI: red dwarf stars relative to almost all other stars are on the low end of "hot" ?

Pretty much what I hoped for in a late 4th round pick. They drafted Oliver a round later. If the 2 of them combined give the Packers quality play, not a bad deal.

Still hot enough.

That's an easy fix. Put Taylor Farms lettuce in front of him at the training table for a few days, and he'll become explosive.
