I didn't realize Pitt's defense was that good. PB is now going to look like a genius. It will be interesting how he does with good players (with all due respect to our guys).

I will say this, we tried to get Bennett. No dice.

This year?

PB will do great things at Pitt.

isnt that what many said about him here?

He was a great Def. Coordinator, and will once again be a great DC.

Yeah.

PB has a tall order upkeeping that top 5 defense, no doubt. Maintain Phil, maintain! That said, I can't wait to see "all out" audible blitzes in all their glory enacted by competent personnel.

He did maintain what we we're doing here...

you guys would kiss a thief as he walked away with your rolex.

As long as you accept maintenance as a general downward trend then sure...

I think in 2006 there were a couple of categories that were near Cavan-levels but if I were to plot defense under Bennett's watch on a chart, the trend would be down.
