Spags is just as responsible for the 3 SBs as Andy is. He made salad out of some chickenshit defenses and has mostly been clutch in the postseason. It's a real blessing to have him coach exactly in this history defining era for the franchise. [Reply]

He knows his business unlike other current DC.
I have to admit, I was concerned at the time he was hired. I knew only that he'd been the DC for NYG when they beat Brady and the Pats the first time, but really didn't know anything else about him.
Then I found that article in which they ranked him among the top-10 DCs in the league before he stepped away for that season and felt a little better about it. Actually, I think they ranked him 10th, lol.
But when I saw what he was able to do with Breeland and Chav, and how he challenged Tyrann to be the Swiss Army knife of the secondary, how he aggressively called press/man coverages when almost every DC had defaulted to some kind of covr-2/-3 zone or whatever passive BS scheme everyone is still running, and finally how he brought all those exotic blitz schemes, that's when my gut told me Spags was the answer to winning a SB in my lifetime.
I could ramble on almost endlessly about how great I think Spags is (I know I've already done it in the past, lol), how he's the best DC the Chiefs have ever had, blahblahblah, but I'll just say thank God for Andy having the vision and guts to hire Steven Spagnuolo. :-):-):-):-) [Reply]

Truly. With how much the defense believes and loves to play for Spags, it's like we have 2 HC's, Andy and Spags. It's brutally unfair to the rest of the league that we have the best GM, best HC, best QB, AND best DC on our team. [Reply]

After that it was all Tom Brady. Brady always made plays when he needed to.
When Belichick's d gave up 400 total yards to Jake Delhomme and company in Superbowl 38 Brady put up just enough to win.
Can’t credit Brady for his sixth ring either as Bill’s defense stymied a high powered Rams offense that scored 54 on KC earlier in the year. Like Belechick or hate him but that was a defensive masterpiece and that defense won that SB. [Reply]

Couldn't have said it better! You are so spot on! [Reply]
And Dave Merritt has to be up there as the top secondary coach. It doesn't seem to matter what round they're drafted in, they tend to be successful under this coaching staff. [Reply]
