r Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Joe Woods to serve as passing game coordinator for the defense. The team has not formally announced the move https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Marquise-Goodwin-Jersey , but it likely will happen at some point this week before the coaching staff departs for Mobile, Alabama to coach the South team at the 2019 Senior Bowl.Woods is out in Denver because Vic Fangio is bringing in Ed Donatell, his defensive backs coach in Chicago and San Francisco, to serve as defensive coordinator. Woods interviewed with Washington, Arizona, and Jacksonville before deciding on the 49ers. All four teams have open defensive backs coaching jobs, but the 49ers have sweetened the pot with this passing game coordinator role.Beat writer Matt Barrows suggested the job title could be a way to give Woods a salary bump that convinced him to come to Santa Clara. That would make sense, but the job title also follows a growing trend in the NFL. The idea of a passing game or running game coordinator has been a part of offensive coaching staffs for a while now. However Joe Staley Jersey , the past three years has seen teams start adding the passing game coordinator title on defense. The Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, and Green Bay Packers have all added the role recently.I have not checked every team, but the Cowboys appear to have been the first when they added the title to that of linebackers coach Matt Eberflus in 2016. Last year he was hired by the Indianapolis Colts to serve as their defensive coordinator. The Cowboys hired former Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard to serve as defensive backs coach and also take on the passing game coordinator role.Position coaches focus on their given unit, but are expected to know enough about other units given the interaction that happens on virtually every single play. The offensive and defensive coordinators are meant to bring everybody together, but given the evolution of offensive schemes and rules to benefit the offense, a passing game coordinator on defense makes a lot of sense.We don’t know exactly what Woods’ duties will entail, but there have been a couple reports discussing the role of Eberflus when he took on the coordinator title in 2016. The job appears to involve working with the linebackers as well as the secondary. One report said Eberflus Solomon Thomas Color Rush Jersey , “effectively managed the back seven of the defense and relayed the calls by coordinator Rod Marinelli.” Jason Garrett described the role when the move was first made.The evolution of passing attacks, and particularly the use of running backs and tight ends is increasing the importance of having linebackers who can drop in coverage. I’d imagine a secondary coach is working with linebackers at times, but this helps potentially set aside additional time to better coordinate between the units. Taking a look at who today’s draft picks impact on the Niners roster"The San Francisco 49ers were always going to take a wide receiver. The team hosted 14 players at the position. What was a surprise was the team taking two receivers. Here are some winners and losers after Day 2 of the draft.Loser-Every receiver not named Dante PettisIt’s pretty clear that Kyle Shanahan was not happy with the production at receiver last year. You can isolate the play from the quarterback. Simply put, it wasn’t good enough. The addition of Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd give the 49ers much needed versatility and a shot of athleticism at the wide receiver position.Winner-George KittleKittle needs help. He was great last year, but it’s ignorant to think teams won’t change how they play him in 2019. The 49ers are going to need guys that can win 1-on-1. That’s Samuel and Hurd. That’s why they were the picks. I imagine any competent defensive coordinator would double Kittle in the red zone. This is where the draft picks come into play. It might not be right away, but this move will make life a lot easier on Kittle, especially if the Samuel/Hurd combo is as good as we think they are with the ball in their hands. That will force defenses to bring more defenders closer to the line, giving Kittle room to work between the 20’s.Loser-Jerick McKinnonWe saw what McKinnon can do with the Minnesota Vikings. We got a glimpse in training camp last year https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Mike-Mcglinchey-Jersey , but McKinnon has to prove himself as a 49er. The selection of two guys that are known to be terrors when they have the ball in their hands will takeaway opportunities from a guy like McKinnon. Shanahan knows what Matt Brieda can do. He handpicked Tevin Coleman after working with him in Atlanta. If one person is going to lose out on touches in the backfield after tonight, it’s McKinnon.Winner-Jimmy GaroppoloMan, I would have loved to see Garoppolo’s face Friday night after the team drafted two offensive players. Not just any offensive players, but guys that will make life a lot easier on Garoppolo. If Shanahan is able to scheme either or open, Garoppolo will find them. While the 49ers have good athletes at receiver, they just drastically improved in regards to receivers being able to create for themselves. One thing that makes Tom Brady next level is his underneath accuracy. He hits players in stride and lets them do the work. Garoppolo should be able to pad his stats with these guys.
