When we had Rashad Bauman, some reporter had asked Champ Bailey if he and Rashad had learned from DG. Particularly Bauman because he's the same size as Green.

I don't remember Bailey's exact quote but he basically said that Green was blessed with remarkable natural athletic ability and that wasn't something he could teach. That neither he (Bailey) nor Bauman really learned anything from Green because the way he played wasnt something that could really be taught. He was just one of those once in a lifetime players.

I wouldn't rush to throw Jerry Gray under a bus.

It's not like I'm thinking about getting rid of anybody. (Salaries for coaches doesn't seem to be an issue ;-), so I'm thinking of an addition, not a replacement.) But is it really possible that he couldn't help the current crew somehow? Even if it's to have them play with more confidence, so I feel like they're playing on their toes, and not on their heels. In addition, the current DBs aren't ever looking back for the ball. (In mathematics, my original area, when you explain a concept and somebody doesn't get it, you try explaining it in different ways, until they finally (hopefully) get it.) So, if we're lucky, he can show the DBs something that "clicks" for them. And since he has been such a large part of the best years of this franchise, it might help with the mindset of the players. (I don't think Danny would mind throwing money his way.)
