Our defence is lackluster. Someone posted that we should put AW back at corner and I agree, he is still our best cover corner. Spy running QBs (ie VICK). Just get out there and light somebody up, start hitting people, have some emotion, play with pride. I dont think Marmie is the answer but the D at least has to try to play with pride. :ramlogo:

Re: Larry Marmie Get The D Aggressive or GET OUT
I was suspicious but optimistic when Marmie was hired. Suspicious because it seemed like one of those hirings influenced by past relationships more than what might be best for the team, but optimistic because the Cardinals defense was pretty short on talent (IMO) and managed to get some good games against some top teams last year. So I was hoping with more talent, he'd be able to produce better results. Thus far, we've really yet to see it. I hope he proves my suspicions wrong. -
Re: Larry Marmie Get The D Aggressive or GET OUT
Marmie is definitely not starting out on the right foot. He needs to get this defense ready to play come Sunday and they need to be lighting some Saints up.Comment

Re: Larry Marmie Get The D Aggressive or GET OUT
Mammie is not the answer. He was not the answer in AZ. His only credential was that he was longtime friend of Martz's..aka "real man of genius".
Come on Mike ... you can fix the that too. Right after the D-line and the O-line and the special teams.....

I knew that would get ya....
But really. What is the chance that Marmie is not fired after the season is over? I thought for sure he'd be gone after last year.
Normally I don't start thinking about this sort of thing so early, but our season is over - no doubt about that. I'm so confused by what our FO wants, I think that possibly Marmie could return. It's been said that the FO doesn't want to be a consistently winning team and Marmie is just the guy to guarantee that.
I do believe, however, that he's pretty much gone. The defense is under a microscope, how could he not be? Nevertheless, I still worry.-12-07-2005, 07:30 AM -
Last year we finished the season giving up 48 points to the Falcons. This year we've played total patsies - except for the Giants and the Seahawks.
In those 2 games, we given up an average of 41 points.
Seriously, did anyone think of Marmie when we had to go out and get a DEF coord? Most teams get a coord from a team that's Defense is setting the league on fire. That's how it's done, that's how we got Lovie Smith,, Tampa Bay's DEF was the leagues best and he was a coach on that DEF.
BUT, we bring in Larry Marmie, the Arizona Cardinals DEF coordinator. Now, Marmie was fired from Arizona (with the rest of the staff). So, Marmie wasn't a hot coach, and he didn't work on a good Defense, yet we brought him in here to be Defensive coordinator.
The only remote reason one can fathom for hiring Marmie is simply Cronyism.
The Question is not will we immediately turn things around under a new Defensive coordinator, the Question is are we going in the wrong direction on Defense?

As much as I hate to say this and it burns me up inside and know I will catch a lot of heat for this BUT...
...Marmie should be given one more year. It is pretty hard to judge a coach in one year when trying to implement a new system. I know that letting him go this soon in the game would be doing a disservice to someone and not respecting what they are trying to accomplish.
NOW, under the same lines. Should not Stock then stay??? Why would you grease the palm of one and not the other?"-01-21-2005, 01:11 PM
