Mike Pettine - potential Jags DC?

#1

Quote: Onto the defensive side of the ball, Mike Pettine is likely going to be searching for a new gig this offseason as well. He hasn’t gotten himself fired in Green Bay, as his defense ranks 8th best (up from 23rd in 2017 under Dom Capers) in pass yards allowed with 225 per game. While the run defense numbers aren’t great at 126.2 yards per game (24th), the Packers have accumulated 40 sacks and 19 turnovers, with three rookies starting on defense.

Pettine’s hybrid 4-3/3-4 defense relies on a mix of blitzing and four-man rushes with heavy utilization of man coverage to generate coverage pressure and sacks. Ben Fennell of The Athletic did a fantastic piece covering Pettine’s philosophies before the 2018 season began that you can read here. Pettine is also on record for being more of a players’ coach when it comes to schematics, as he bases his calls on his players’ skillset and reducing confusion in order to keep things simple and technique-based.

He sounds tailor made for our defense...

I like the way Pettine has been able to hide roster weak spots at times defensively in GB. They've allowed points in some contests, but they've also held teams to respectable numbers with a couple of back-ups and a couple of rookies in the line-up. He seems to have the knack for altering scheme to players' strengths. At least - he seems more flexible in that regard than Wash does.

He worked with Marrone in 2013 - so there's a connection if Marrone isn't fired.
