53 Fan - I remember a while back in 2006 that there were issues about the secondary and the safeties and corners were having separate meetings and often were not on the same page - although injuries played a big part in effecting the defense that year.
Don't most teams have one secondary coach to begin with anyway? I think the only reason we got 2 coaches back in the secondary is that this was carried forward from the time when Joe Gibbs came in and hired a ton of coaches and all types of assistants and seemed pretty overkill as to the amount of coaches on the team. Wouldn't having one secondary coach make more sense anyway?
yeah i remember there was a time when some skins fans wanted gray gone for lack of production. that was when double G utitlized the 10-15 yard cb cushion we all hated so much. although i think the cushion idea was double G's to make up for all those long passes we were giving up that year with arch deluxe and his fill ins not getting the job done.
either way, gray has done a great job this year and seems to have a good relationship with his players and that is something i would not want to see change. we need the players to believe in their coaches and the secondary seems to believe in gray. i hope he doesnt go but i wouldnt hold it against him to further his career by striking while the iron is hot.
go skins!!
