Without Ron Rivera the Bears defense has not been the same. The Bears have the highest paid defense in the league and are getting older. This season we will learn how much Ron Rivera was key to the defense success of the 2006 Super Bowl team the seasons prior.
1) Will the Bear’s defense rebound this year?
2) Will San Diego’s defense, now headed by Ron Rivera prove out his coaching ability?
“The man who took over, and who will lead the unit in ’09, is Ron Rivera. Rivera has guided one defense to a Super Bowl, and looks to double that number this year.
Helping Rivera will be a couple of former assistants from Chicago in Don Johnson (defensive line) and Steve Wilks (secondary). The team will also benefit from two pass-rushers in the lineup—the return of three-time Pro Bowler Shawne Merriman and first-round draft pick Larry English.”
