This is true and I hold the same opinion. But it was proposed that Hayward was inferior while here. I will grant you, he's probably better now, he should be. But I'd also say you don't get 20+ pass defenses and 6 INT's if you're not playing well. They went after a rookie and he set a record for passing rating against. 2 things from that #1, he WAS better than just good here and #2, I don't believe players come from college at that level without some instruction.Exactly.
Pro Bowls for defensive players aren't always reflective in statistics. And the measure of a defensive player isn't always in statistics.
and I am not claiming Whitt is some DB guru. I think he has something out of his control that are held against him. I have no idea how he is as a position coach other than when we have some continuity back there they've been pretty decent over the years.
