Perspective: Defense never disappeared — and it could determine the Super Bowl winner
. Denver’s Ejiro Evero is receiving legitimate interest from multiple teams. Philadelphia’s Jonathan Gannon is reportedly making an impression.But I’m most intrigued by some of the defensive coordinators now vying for their second head-coaching gigs: Vance Joseph, Raheem Morris, Dan Quinn, Brian Flores and Steve Wilks. In Carolina, Wilksafter they fired Matt Rhule.
All indications are that Morris caught the attention of Indianapolis during his interview. If Payton doesn’t land in Denver, Quinn may very well get that job. There are several offensive coaches besides Payton receiving interest. Among them: Philadelphia’s Shane Steichen, the New York Giants’ Mike Kafka and Dallas’s Kellen Moore. But the intrigue seems to be with men who have expertise on the other side of the football.
In truth, the NFL is not as skewed toward offense as it looks. If you want to lift the Lombardi Trophy, you have to get stops. Look at the past four winners, who celebrated right in the prime of an era in which great offense supposedly overcomes all. New England beat the Rams, 13-3, in 2019. The next year, in a game San Francisco’s defense owned until Kansas City matched the 49ers’ physicality and mounted an impressive comeback, the Chiefs won, 31-20.
. “It doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about us. We don’t care who’s favored, who’s not. We’re built for this.”last week, are built for this, too. So are the Eagles. And the 49ers, who might be willing to play on concrete, definitely are as well. These aren’t finesse teams. They play with power and resilience. The obsession with their offenses makes them all the more dangerous. Before other teams try to copy them, they ought to comprehend the full lesson.
