Sean Duggan

And interesting comments from all of the parties involved, offense, defense, and special teams.

I lean to Jeff Halfley on the defensive side of the ball more so than Sean Duggan, just because Jeff Halfley's the play caller, right? But Jeff Halfley's comments that really stood out to me was kind of the above and beyond for player development.

Chris Tabor talking about his coaching style, but I have to start with Bobby Sloan.

Because I have to give Bobby Sloik a lot of credit.

That's what Perk gives them, a D.

He says, the penalties and mistakes repeated from week one, to your point, and coach Jeff Halfley, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, defensive coordinator Sean Duggan, and special teams coordinator Chris Tabor must be better teachers.

This is a young and inexperienced team, which means mistakes will be common.

However, coaches must greatly reduce things such as missed field goals, blown coverage assignments, and penalties.

how you can get through to these people because it's like, it was clearly sold that this was going to be a multi-year proposition and it's clearly, you know, ownership know that it's going to be three-year at minimum thing so half isn't going anywhere for three years like people are like well mcdermott's out there tomlin's out there it's like sean mcdermott had the best quarterback in the nfl and couldn't get past the you know couldn't get into the suit you know how many superpowers did sean mcdermott win you know how many superpowers in one of the last 15 years like and mike tomlin is pretty happy being sat next to maria taylor every sunday night and and why would you blame him um so i don't think that's happening either um Who does it fall on? I think it falls partly on Halfley, I suppose.

I think it falls partly on Sean Duggan, I suppose.

It falls a lot on the talent.

I mean, there was a really good Brock Purdy quote.

He joined...

McDaniel and he's been kept on to keep running the offense and kind of keep it the same so that's him now Sean Duggan their defensive coordinator who's going to be kind of subservient to Halfley it's really Halfley's defense uh went to Boston College played linebacker there he was a GA at Boston College back in 2015 and Sean Duggan's only 33 years old he's young He was the linebackers coach at Hawaii, the Rainbow Warriors, UMass, then Ohio State, Boston College, and then he just kind of followed Halfley from that point forward.

Was with him at Ohio State.

He was with him at Boston College.

So David Firones, who covers the Dolphins, he's out there in Napa.

He had tweeted a couple hours ago, "Dolphins defensive coordinator Sean Duggan defers questions about Chop Robinson's status to head coach Jeff Hafley.

He said, like any game, the team prepares all guys behind him to play." And David Firones just updated that about 10 minutes ago and says, "Dolphins edge Chop Robinson was not participating in the team's Thursday practice in Napa.

He was seen watching, walking around with a trainer next to him, and then watching some more as his edge rusher teammates did indie drills during the media viewing portion." Hmm.

So Chris Johnson has some work to do, right? And and the defensive coaches have some work to do.

Jeff Halfley and Sean Duggan, the defensive coordinator, and, you know, get some help for Chris Johnson, shore up Chris Johnson's technique, because I guarantee you that Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy and Debo Samuel and all these Kittle and McCaffrey, they're going to be onto that now.

They're going to be smelling blood.

And, you know, you've got to address these things.

All three just transferred in this offseason.

I'm just saying, if we want to spin it to Dolphins, Sean Duggan, former Boston College coach, now the DC for the Dolphins, he saw me in the Arizona State hat a couple weeks ago, and he pulled me aside.

He's like, man, You guys got a transfer from Boston College, and the kid is a monster, Reed Harris.

I'm just saying.

So calling the plays defensively will be Jeff Halfley, the head coach, with his defensive background.

He's got a defensive coordinator in Sean Duggan that he really trusts, and he'll be his eyes from upstairs.

But Hathaway, of course, will call his own defense as a head coach.

So Rodriguez is going to be getting that call, relaying it to the rest of the defense.

We talked about Brock Bowers.

We know Ashton Gentry, the running back, is there, but...

We heard earlier, I guess it was, was it Half who said they might have to scheme up some pass rush or was it Sean Duggan, the defensive coordinator? Maybe it was Sully even, I can't remember.

But somebody was saying they're going to have to scheme up some pass rush.
