Raheem Morris Implementing Changes to Secondary

I was reading somewhere (might have been here) that Meriweather has been turning heads with his quality of play. That is a good sign!

Shanny may have given Morris lemons, but given what he was able to do as a secondary coach in TB, he might be able to make lemonade.

Could that be Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Torrence has handed over his playbook...what a run he had his second time around

Did he quit or FO decision? kinda hoping he could push for some play time

I think we will all be pleasantly surprised with the quality of our secondary play this year. I love all the "competition" brought in, "contract years", a young energetic smack talking DB coach...could be fun to watch this defense if not right away, surely after a few games of playing together. Really, if this defense can put up top 10 production, it could be an exciting year with RG3 at the helm.

I pray that you are right. Hopefully Morris will be a miracle worker. Otherwise it will be a long year in our secondary.

There's a young cornerback that the Redskins like that made Torrence expendable. Torrence is a below average corner so I wasn't expecting much from him even if he made the team somehow.

He didn't quit

Morris is decisive! How long since the secondary was coached decisively?

I like what the Skins are doing with their secondary. I believe that if a team isn't satisfied with the players they have in any unit they should try out as many players as they reasonably can for that unit until they find one or two who are keepers.

This is the reason why Landry and Atogwe are no longer in Washington. Both are very good players, but not good enough. If they were good enough they both would still be Redskins. With the additions of several defensive backs, and with a new defensive secondary coach, Mike Shanahan definitely wanted more progress in the secondary this coming season and beyond. The Redskins have definitely upgraded their secondary. No one is talking about Cedric Griffin. In my opinion, Griffin is the best of the safeties the Redskins have now.

Morris can't work miracles. It's going to be a long year in the secondary. Hopefully we'll have a strong pass rush to help out.

Perhaps he can.

When he returned to Tampa Bay in 2007, he took them from 19th ranked pass defense --> to the top ranked pass defense in one year. It's great to have a former head coach / D-coordinator take a small position like this -- hope he rejuvenates our secondary. Hard to know what to expect since it seems we're giving him average talent, but perhaps if he uses them correctly - I'm hoping they overperform this year.

And yet, I'd wager that IF we struggle this year, it will most likely be due to this troubled secondary. RG3 should help our offense, but might not be able to keep up if other offenses score 50 points in games like in the past. In this pass-driven league, there is no substitute for a good / deep secondary and bruising D-line. We also have concerns in O-line, LB depth, RB, a number one WR -- but I'd say the secondary dwarfs the other issues.

Hope Morris helps & stays for a while.
