Cooley makes it sound like the secondary's problems come from a mix of communication issues and sometimes flat out not doing the right assignment. So to me our secondary problems are more on the players than the coaches. Otherwise, how is Breeland, as a rookie, the best player in the secondary? He's getting the same coaching the other guys are. Not saying Haslett should stay, because you'd think after 4 years he'd have made progress in some basic areas and he really hasn't, but he's never had a lot to work with either. Sadly, I have no faith we'll find more Breeland's in the draft next year, with or without Haslett.
It was funny to me a while back when Clark and Breeland said the secondary needed to communicate better, while Amerson and Meriweather were saying the communication was fine. Maybe I'm making too much out of this, but is it a coincidence that Clark and Breeland are Gruden guys?
