KNJ should have been fired at least 2 years ago. Good riddance!
We should have never hired him as DC in the first place. He held the same position with the Raiders prior to returning to Seattle and got fired from there too because he sucked.Terpdragon":3uapl34o said:KNJ should have been fired at least 2 years ago. Good riddance!
I have mixed feelings on this firing. I mean, the problem for our team wasn't the defense. It just wasn't. They were middling at worst. And yet, for some reason, the only person everyone seemed to agree needed to go was Norton.olyfan63":4ym4daxf said:It felt like Waldron was finally getting thru to Russ on 3rd down conversions over hero-ball. That plus the O-Line and Penny's emergence.Cyrus12":4ym4daxf said:I was hoping Waldron would be fired as well. Thinking they are wait and see with Wilson.
I'm happy and sad at the same time about KNJ. Too many slow starts for the D and too few adjustments. I wish him well. Maybe another LB coaching gig. DC was somehow just a little more than he could master this time around.

So this just seems like another meaningless coordinator firing to give the fans something to make them feel like we're doing things. At the same time, is it possible for us to upgrade? Of course it is but I don't know what I expect.
The issue for me is: Our defense was middling to decent for the most part. They didn't let other teams run up the score on us. They were very good in the Red Zone and on 4th down and while not quite as good on third downs, still upper half of the league on those as well.
This is the type of defense that a great offense takes to the playoffs and threatens to win playoff games with. Our defense gave up basically the same amount of points per game as the Cowboys, Chiefs, Cardinals, Packers, Niners, and Rams and less points than the Bengals, Eagles, Steelers, and Raiders. See a pattern here?

Yep, while I’m not sad to see these guys let go, I think they are just rearranging the deck chairs on the good ship Seahawk.chris98251":17c6upw8 said:This years scapegoat, last year it was Schotty, what is the constant here. It was a pretty good job of recovery with all our injuries this season to put a team on the field at all on defense and get them coached up.
Considering this was Petes bend don't break defense from the Hire of him and the biggest difference was Quinns attacking defensive line that helped us have a great defense.

Pete is always so worried about getting beat deep that he’d rather the D give up loooong drives and burn them out by the start of the 4th quarter.
