Well, this has to make you feel warm and fuzzy.


"Gray had let his contract run out with the Packers and was free to pursue other opportunities. He was GB's defensive backs/passing game coordinator and very popular with the DBs. Also went out of his way last year to distance himself from Joe Barry's scheme. A bold approach."

I don't much care for any DC that allows defenders to play off coverage so much, but I really don't think Joe Barry is the main issue. When watching the games, it really seemed players were not executing.  And maybe that was because Jerry Gray (who interviewed for DC and lost out to Barry) was trying to distance himself from Barry's scheme? 

Maybe thinking Jerry Gray was right and amazing, maybe we should consider the "communication" troubles were founded from the secondary coach distancing himself from the head guys scheme? 

If anything, the more I think about it, the more I think Gray's antics make it seem like Barry is less the problem.
