And as a part of that - does it say anything that they were attempting to upgrade the secondary in Free Agency?

It was definitely a coaches fault in the Green Bay game. Not sure which one, since I dont know if what was reported about Shanny dictating to Haslett how to play defense is true or not. But you still, as a coach, have to put players in a position to succeed.

As for upgrading the secondary, I think that was a no brainer. We dont have an elite secondary by any means. They still may have failed against Green Bay. But you have to get them the right calls and adjustments, even with a poor secondary. If they continue to fail with those, then its a personnel problem. Ours came across to me as both a personnel problem and a coaching problem compounding the issue. Ultimately giving us the horrible crap we had for the past few years. Easy adjustments werent being made for whatever reason.
