FWIW - Coen says he wants his defense to be aggressive and play to the echo of the whistle even if it means a few penalties early in the season.

Two of the 5 DC interviews they have conducted were with guys who are known to call more blitzes than the league average. The other guys have less experience calling plays.

I just hope Coen hires a DC that will get enough respect from his LBs and Secondary that he can straight up call them on their bull [BLEEP] when they screw up and hold them accountable - seems like the last two guys didn't want to ruffle too many feathers or bruise too many egos

Coen talked about being honest with players about their mistakes and weaknesses, but that's just talk for now.
I hope the whole staff can get to that point quickly
