[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 759273, member: 7277"] When Capers was let go, the exodus of several defensive coaches was expected, to say the least. However, at least based on performance, one that you would have expected to see jettisoned, Joe Whitt Jr, was actually promoted to what amounts to assistant DC, and was inexplicably (at least to me), considered for the DC position. My question is, what am I missing on this guy that the Packers see in him? Sam Shields and Tramon Williams, is that really it? The development of these guys is a good 7+ years in the rearview mirror, and he's had almost nothing to show for it since then. Sure, other UDFAs have cracked the roster like Gunter and Pipkins, but with almost non-existent impact. Numerous early picks have been invested in corners. Randall was a disaster until finally coming around in his 3rd year, and he has gotten absolutely zero out of Quinten Rollins. Every year we hear a piece in camp on how a corner looks like they're ready to make an impact and lead the secondary, and every year it turns out to be nothing but fluff. This past season that player was supposed to be Rollins. King's rookie season was essentially a lost one. You can't blame Whitt for injuries, but we also cannot afford to invest heavily in corners in the draft and not even expect to see impact until near the end of their rookie deals. Whitt's biggest blunder was probably failing to get anything at all out of Hayward's 3rd and 4th seasons when he was healthy again, then watching him leave for San Diego and become one of the premiere NFL corners. Worse, Whitt was obviously involved in the evaluation process where it was determined that Hayward was limited to being a slot corner, not an outside corner, an evaluation which was miserably incorrect. Someone please help me understand what we see so much in Joe Whitt to want his continued presence as one of our highest level defensive coaches even at a time with so much significant internal overhaul among our coaches.
