November 9, 20177 yr comment_303264 If hiring a coach who has won a Grey Cup in Winnipeg is some people's sole criterion... good luck getting Mike Riley out of Nebraska

Think the point is Richie Hall isn't some great DC that people think he is.

Nobody has ever made that claim. People have said hes serviceable, we can win with him if the team plays like it can, etc etc. If we win the GC, I have no issue with him remaining until the wheels fall completely off. I don't mind a defense that bends and doesn't break. I like the turnovers and pressure. Hall's an enigma to me. He has the defense playing lights out some games, others they look like pee-wee ballers.. consistency needs to be better and then I'd consider calling him good to better lol.

Atomic may not have directly made that claim, but his reference to the 2 grey cups Hall happened to benefit from with Austin and Chamblin winning them implies it 2. Hence why he's the equivalent of Marcel Bellefeuille coaching defense Edited November 9, 20177 yr by USABomberfan

Maybe it's the circles I run in but as long as I have been around football as a fan and as a coach, I don't think I have ever actually heard a defensive coordinator describe his defense this way. I've never heard a defensive guy say we are going to give up tons of yardage but will hold them when it matters. Most defensive coordinators I know and hear from scheme their defense to their existing talent base to maximize two and outs and to force turnovers. If there is a creature like this that describes his defense as a bend don't break, I'd get that out from them in the interview hiring process and would not let him anywhere near my team.
November 9, 20177 yr comment_303390 Jim Daley and the "lets try to contain them" defense. I still have nightmares.

Both Hall, O'shea and even to an extent Edmtonton have mentioned they utilize a defense that employs this method. Not sure who you've been talking to but its common enough to me.. hell, teams have been using variations of bend but don't break for years.

November 10, 20177 yr comment_303495 Both O'Shea and Hall deny that their D scheme is "bend but don't break" and they've denied it several times over the past two years. Sheesh.

November 10, 20177 yr comment_303505 Have we forgotten about the legendary Stubler bend but don’t break D already?
November 10, 20177 yr comment_303520 I maintain that part of the reason the Bombers generate as many turnovers as they do is because opponents get impatient and don't take the dink and dunk stuff that is there.
November 10, 20177 yr comment_303536 I believe that Richie Hall has described his defense as "a systematic withdrawal until such time as a demarcation line is crossed, at which point resistance is fortified". This is NOT "bend but don't break".

I think people are confusing bend but don't break with break your offense down defense. Stubler's philosophy always has and always is make em earn every yard and shut em down.
