Quote:Of the eight teams currently in first place, six of them are "defensive minded" coaches. Belichick, Lewis, Pagano, Fox, Schwartz, Carroll.

 

Thud.

 

Was I talking about long time head coaches? No. I said recent ones. 

 

Belichick is one of the rare ones that understands how important a good offense really is. Most Defensive minded coaches are like Del Rio and are grunts that just want to run the ball most of the time and try to win every game 13-10. Fox isn't letting JDR do that now though, JDR is merely a headset rack until Fox returns. 

 

That same (Belichick) argument could be made to a lesser extent with Lewis. He's tried to build a top flight offense and made a legit effort to attain that by both the personnel and coaching (Gruden) that they brought in. 

 

Pagano & Fox aren't anything special and I doubt either will win a Title even with 2 of the best QB in the league.

 

IMO Schwartz is terrible (sorry D6) and I already discussed Carroll.
