Rogers was hurt all season and I think Brown didn't finish the season.

just something that interests me. Donatell/Fangio was able to maximize their potential and make them look like solid NFL players, but they of course didn't do anything on the raiders. Yes, we surely have a lot more talent on our team, but I'm convinced a lot of it was due to coaching

Those who are citing stats from Raiders with Jason Tarver as DC, rest assured. He would not be bringing those players with him.

Damn stats always getting in the way of players and coaches being great. We should just get rid of them!

Well, to be honest, coaching the Raiders for the last couple of yeas is playing nightmare mode. For those non gamers; that's a couple notches above hard mode.

The question is why is he even WITH the Raiders to begin with. LOL

Yeah not like he exactly impressed the league, pretty sure the defense finished the bottom of the barrel so he's def a step up from vic ? York doesn't know what the hell he's doing and its apparent

Aldon, Williams, Dorsey, Lynch ( Cowboy probably retires, right?)

Carradine, Brooks, and Dial coming off the bench along with other draftees/FAs...

Seems pretty dominant to me.

No, I'm thinking Cowboy doesn't retire now with Tomsula being hired - heard him in a quick blurb this morning on KNBR saying Tomsula was a great hire and it was well deserved.

Keep in mind that before he came to the 49ers, Fangio was known for having had some truly bad defenses and having his defenses get worse after each season. He was by no means seen as a "homerun" at DC.

Fangio at lest coached good defense though, yes they got worse, but at lest he saw success. Tarver never has.

True but to pick up a guy from the raiders after seeing their defense and offense line coach from Redskins doesn't exactly invoke much faith in the ownership... We have a coach who's never even had a coordinating job he needs all the help he can get and its almost as if the Jed York likes seeing his company stock go down

And it's more about the position coaches you have in place to teach the players and coach them up into your scheme. We don't know who those people will be yet. Right now we just have a warm body with an idea of his philosophy but who knows what Tomsula wants from him.

Jason Tarver's scheme looks to mix it up and come with a lot of different looks and coverages. He is rooted in a 3-4 scheme (OLB coach for 49ers for 6 seasons) even though he ran a 4-3 in OAK in his first stint as DC. Trying to learn more...

http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/63179/raiders-mad-scientist-has-d-humming

Last week, Alex Smith, considered one of the smartest signal-callers in the league, admitted the Raiders confused him at times in Kansas City's eventual 24-7 victory.

"They did a great job mixing it up," said Smith, who was sacked three times in the first quarter.

"I felt like we never could get a read on it, on what they were doing … they just kept rolling through the calls and mixing it. They did a great job. They caught us off guard a few times. They caught me off guard."

Sheesh, if they caught Alex off guard, then Colin probably felt like a preschooler in grad school vs that defense.

From the OAK film analysis thread, I wrote this about the OAK defense: "OAK came with a healthy mix of man and zone coverage throughout the game."

This is before I did any research into Jason Tarver because there was no idea he'd be a candidate for 49er DC back in week 14 of the season. Kap's stat line that week:

18/33
174 yards (5.3 ypa)
1TD, 2 INTs
54.4 Rating

Yeah but in their first game, Alex Smith lit it up for 300 yards and 2 TDs, Peyton Manning went for 340 and 5 TDs, Philip Rivers for 303 yards and 3 TDs, Kyle Orton 329 and 3 TDs, But, for a fairly untalented and young roster, the Raiders seemed to improve defensively over the course of the year. They allowed 3 100+ yard rushers all season and in rematches against Smith, Manning, and Rivers they did better against all three the second time around. Plus they held Brady to a pedestrian 234 in Foxboro.

Tarver had marginally better ranking against the rush than the pass.

No question about that!

Both, Baalke plan of finding gems in the lower rounds & UDFA won't work if they aren't coached up like with the Harbaugh staff. That's why I don't understand why they let the whole defensive staff go. Fangio wants to leave fine, plug Dontell(or whatever his name is) in & keep it moving.

I get it now. If the defense is as bad as the offense, the offense won't look AS bad! Genius!
