Manusky vs Monachino

[Shadow_Creek]

you know when Manusky was running our defense, Vontae davis had a stellar career as we all know. However under Monachino's play calling Davis didn't do so well in coverage. Then he was released for his lack of play and other reasons.i wonder tho if his bad playing was due to the new play calling? Also i wonder if Geathers will be used the same way he was used under Manusky or will he too be set up for failure as well?

I don't personally believe it had anything to do with Monachino's play calling. Yes, he likes to play way off the receivers sometimes but the other corners out there now are actually doing a pretty damn good job with man to man. I think the injuries and age have gotten the better of Vontae. So I don't believe Monachino is setting anyone up for failure really. (Individually) Play calling can definitely get better.

we dont have the talent level for monachinos style of playing soft with a lead, i hope he will correct this

BLITZ VS NO BLITZ

[dudeski]

manusky was unjustly fired so that pagano could keep his job.  pagano threw him under the bus as well as other assistants because he has no integrity

[CamMo]

Manusky is doing good things with the Redskins defense. I wish we would have kept him, honestly.

Monachino is in over his head and has designed a defense that requires playmakers at key positions which we certainly do not have outside of Geathers who is yet to play a snap with the new defense. He needs to change his thinking because our CURRENT defense is about the farthest thing possible from the Ravens defense he worked with for so many years that had playmakers at almost every position. As far as Davis goes i think age and injuries got the best of him, and i believe with Geathers Monachino will bring the best out of him because as i stated, he is our one and only impact playmaker.

One thing Monachino does have is not getting tossed by the Steelers.

Not a fan of Monachino. When he's gone I'll forget about him like that DC we had with the full head of gray hair a few years back that got bounced after a year.

The Colts defense had a lack of talent when Dungy first arrrived, but they kept running that same Tampa 2 defensive scheme.  There was no Simeon Rice, Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks etc.   This is not something that is exclusive to Monachino.

Yep. I put that in the recycling part of the memory. 

 

A year or two after Monachino is gone, I'll be sure to forget about him. On purpose.

I think Manusky worked hard for who we had. I think it will always be like that until we get more talent on the defensive side.

[Defjamz26]

Manusky realized our CBs were better in man though. Idk why Ted has had them playing in Zone. I will say Manusky was also way better at dialing up blitzes. Ted has way more talent on the line than Manusky did when he was able to dial up 40 sacks in 2014. So far he’s really disappointed . He doesn’t play to the strength of his players. There are still some holes on the D for sure but Ballard has given him an upgrade over every starter he had on the D last year with the exception of ILB.

Geathers was having a great season last year under monachino before his neck injury I think he will be fine he needs to play more man to man.

Yep. Vic Fangio has gone on to coach some very good defenses as well. He was a favorite scapegoat when he was still in Indy
