Credo che se prenderete Tomlin (con cui c'è stat un secondo colloquio), ci sarà per davvero un cambio nello schema.. Tutti gli HC che facevano i DC si portano dietro la loro difesa, anche perché credo che Tomlin non sappia minimamente gestire una 3-4..

Tomlin and Rivera coach the Tampa 2 defense popularized by Dungy, now the Colts' coach, and Bears coach Lovie Smith when both were at Tampa Bay. This season, Kansas City, Buffalo, Detroit and Minnesota adopted the Tampa 2.

The Tampa 2 is a variation of the Cover 2 that features a zone pass defense and a run defense in which each player is responsible for a gap

The concept of the Tampa 2 is to prevent the big play by keeping everything in front of the safeties. The Tampa 2 doesn't call for a lot of blitzing, unlike the Steelers' current 3-4 alignment.

The Tampa 2 typically uses four linemen and three linebackers, as opposed to a 3-4 formation, which uses three linemen and four linebackers.

The Steelers' current roster was designed to play a 3-4. Tomlin, who has coached only the Tampa 2 in six NFL seasons, said it's too early to discuss the Steelers' personnel and schemes. He did say it's important to allow players to play to their strengths.

"I'm a fundamentalist as opposed to scheme,'' Tomlin said. "I think that football is a tough man's game. You win by stopping the run and being able to run the ball effectively and doing the things that winners do. Being a detail-oriented football team. Playing with great passion and executing.''


:penso:

E comunque la difesa dei Vikings quest'anno è passata da 21a a 8a della Lega, nonchè prima contro le corse.

La tampa 2 è comunque la difesa più gay che c'è, non certo lo smashmouth football a cui sono abituati gli Steelers  :gogogo:

Tomlin quest'anno a Minnesota ha lavorato piuttosto bene....riuscendo anche nell'impossibile compito di rilanciare un "bollito eccellente" come Napoleon Harris....forse il miglior LB dei Vikings con il redivivo E.J. Henderson....e tutto contando anche che il playmaker su cui si era ampiamente investito non ha nemmeno messo piede in campo: Chad Greenway.

Sulle corse siamo stati una delle difese migliori del campionato senza alcun dubbio, riusciendo grazie alla coppia centrale formata dai due Williams e ai blitz sistematici di LB e secondarie a mettere sempre in difficoltà il portatore di palla.....l'unica nota davvero dolente sono stati i DE....e qui non si capisce se sia un problema di schema difensivo o, come auspicabile, l'eccessiva mediocrità del materiale a disposizione....buoni prospetti ancora lontano dall'esplodere....

Come DC è stato sicuramente validissimo.....ma da qui a fare l'HC vero e proprio ce ne passa....e sinceramente non so ne quanto....ne come...sia preparato e valido per coprire tale ruolo....

Su ESPN e NFL.com si dice che la notizia non è ancora ufficiale...

A report on Sports Illustrated's Web site, SI.com, on Saturday indicated that Tomlin had been chosen as the successor to Cowher, but the Vikings' defensive coordinator told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that no decision had been made.

"It is untrue," Tomlin said of the report. "I have no idea where it's coming from. I have not talked to the Rooneys today."


Io spero vivamente si vada su Grimm o Rivera...  :fischia:

Non so cosa pensare a questo punto.
Però credo che la dirigenza stia aspettando Rivera e stia - come dire - "tifando contro" i Bears...nel senso che vorrebbero sul serio avere questo famosa seconda interview col DC di Chicago, ma non sono disposti ad aspettare eventualmente fino al 4 febbraio.
Dunque è probabile che se i Bears vanno al Superbowl l'annuncio del nuovo HC possa arrivare nel giro di pochi giorni, forse anche domani.

Ancora niente da fare, l'ufficialità non è ancora arrivata anche se credo sia questione di giorni.

Steelers hire Tomlin as head coach

http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/PIT/9947177

34 anni, tanta energia, freschezza e voglia di fare...personalmente sono molto contento di questa scelta

curiosissimo adesso di vedere con quali tasselli si andrà a completare il coaching staff e poi ovviamente come si metterà mano al roster

Va beh, è andata. Speravo in Grimm o Rivera ma va bene comunque, gli allenatori di colore sono di moda in questo periodo...  :forza:
La nota negativa è però il fatto che, a questo punto, se ne andranno sia Grimm che soprattutto LeBeau. Vedremo come si andrà a completare il coaching staff.

What could be tricky is assimilating Tomlin's preference for the 4-3 defense into a Steelers system that has been built around the 3-4 since 1983. The Steelers have fitted their roster with players suited for the 3-4, such as All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu and Pro Bowl nose guard Casey Hampton.

Not that Tomlin is expected to change. He also likes the so-called Tampa 2 cover scheme, which had its roots in Pittsburgh's Steel Curtain defense of the 1970s -- a defense that played a 4-3.

"I think regardless of who they hire to be the head coach, they expect him to lead," Tomlin said last week. "Part of leading is being prepared to do things you feel strongly about. I'm no different from anyone else in that regard."
