Barry/Haz:
Richard Crawford was on 980 the other day discussing the differences in our D compared to San Diego's.
He basically said when he was here, under Haz, we ran a little bit of everything schematically. Jack of all trades, master of none (my interpretation).
In SD, he said the schemes were much simpler and fewer in number. Statistically, they were more successful than we were. I'm really not sure how much of a talent differential there was.
On certain plays, we had 4 or 5 professional football players that didn't seem to have a clue where they were supposed to be. No idea if this was related to the complexity of the defensive call. Depending on who you asked, safety or corner, there was or was not a communication issue.
When in doubt, simpler is better. Dallas had a talentless defense that was better than ours running the simplest scheme since the late 90s.
Barry will be an improvement over Haz.
Morris:
Cooley explained the other day that a position coach says "Sir, yes Sir" when a coordinator calls the defense; whether he agrees or not. Morris' role in the debacle this year is impossible to quantify unless you're in the meetings and on the sidelines. That being said, I hope we part ways. Sometimes change is good. Wish him the best.
