Cravens is a playmaker. He needs to be on the field and he fits as an in the box SS. So change the f'n coverages a little! If Barry can't figure it out, change the DC, too.
p.s. Draft or sign a true FS with speed and range while you're at it.

You know what, I've been of those defending Barry, I don't think his playcalling is that bad, and that's an area where he's improved since the beginning of the season.
But.
The Cravens case is driving me crazy.
Cooley said weeks ago on his show Cravens should be playing SS. Have your best 11 players on the field.
He knows the position and as a LB he knows the coverage so he could learn the playbook quickly.
I really don't see how hard it is to go from a "both safeties can play both positions" situation to a normal "switching sides" system.
To me that's one of the easy things Barry could do to optimise his defense with the personnel he has.
I know part of this decision is on Gruden, but if Barry wanted it I'm sure it could've been done weeks ago.
