Re: Redskins promote Greg Manusky to defensive coordinator

I agree 100% but I believe there are deeper communications issues than just between the players.

I believe we can read the tea leaves a bit here, but it is (OMG) speculation without a source.

In the days after Joe Barry was fired, Cooley and Sheehan discussed multiple times about the calls coming in late from Barry to the players on the field. Cooley specifically said he heard criticism of Barry coming out of Redskins park that Barry was waiting till the last possible moment to make the defensive call to try to get a better look at what the offense was doing, rather than just basing it on the offensive personnel.

Cooley said he believed most of the pointing and yelling among players right before the snap was in part due to the calls coming in late because Barry was trying to make the perfect call rather than just a good call.

All that being said he placed the bulk of the blame on the players.

I sort of buried this in my mind till I heard one of Manusky's interviews yesterday, I can't remember if it was on Inside the Locker Room or Redskins Nation, but he said something to the effect of he is not going to be able to predict the offensive play to be in the perfect defense all the time, but everybody is going to be on the same page. (Not an exact quote, just a summation of the meaning)

I believe Cooley's discussion combined with Manusky's statement is an indicator of communication issues between the players and coaches during the games.
