One fan said that maybe he can help us bring over Delmas... another fan reminded that Delmas and Titus Young fought in training camp lol... both valid points

wish yall luck.. he is a underrated DB couch.. i persoily think he did a horible job as a 3rd down coach last year (the only year he did that)

but it was a luering experience and im sure the health problems we had did not help..

i dont see delmes going to the rams.. if he does tho dont expect more the 8 games from him.. dude is a bob sanders clone.. one of the best in the game but gets injured if you look at him

so judging from the fact we keep taking everyone and their dog from the lions how much longer till we get Calvin

Megatron + Legatron = Cybertron

[cg_la00]

this is crap. there goes our defense next year

[NDMets57]

I guess we'll see, they must know something we don't.

not a high profile signing, i like this signing even though the lions have not had a good secondary but they have not been atrocious i would take theres over some other secondarys. also we have a better secondary which helps and what i heard is they might do a committee like last year so i like this signing fisher has been pretty good on getting coaches so i think this is another good one

I don't know enough about the guy to give much of an opinion, but honestly, I have enough faith in Fisher and the staff to make the right decision.

How in the heck are we supposed to be able to determine good DCs from the list that's available now? We don't do the interviews, the staff does. Most of them are no-names, very little coaching experience, etc. Any which way they would've went here, Jeff Fisher will still have his eyes, ears, and a_ss all over the defense, watching it like a hawk until he feels the DC can handle it the way he likes it handled.

However, the history this guy has as far as experience and results is pretty impressive. Although a lot of it isn't NFL-caliber, still very impressive. Check out the link below to get a little history on the guy.

I'm more bummed cuz I wanted Singletary, like most of you I'm not sure what to make of Walton

he has ties to fisher.. fisher wants someone who knows his D and knows how to run it well.. he was a logical pick

interviewing him 2 years in a row speaks to that

From what I am reading he is well respected and very enthusiastic/fiery which is mostly what I wanted

Just found this too..

Sounds like a good hire if all that is true

Who?

[Pujolsfan91]

Not sure what to think of this. The lions secondary is one of the worst parts of their team. I think it was more due to their personnel.. so I can't judge the move yet.
