Ginger's D is Elite

[Sect 236]

Panthers are:
2nd in total points allowed
3rd in total yards allowed
4th in rush yds/game
5th in pass yds/game
6th in interceptions

According to Roob Frank, McDermott is picking up major cred as a future HC. Who woulda thunk it?

Yeah, and Pat Shurmur's offense in Philly looks awesome.

[Sect 236]

So...when Ron Rivera gives the credit to McDermott, and McDermott is designing the defense and calling the plays...it's all Ron Rivera?

Just because Opie was thrown into an impossible situation here (replacing JJ on such short notice, dealing with a FO that clearly can't draft defensive players) doesn't mean he can't actually be a good coach.

Knowing how Philadelphia sports work, doesn't it make more sense for him to be great after he leaves here?

Good for him. He's worked under two great DC's. Now he's actually got some players to work with. Skinny Luke!
