He was our defensive backs coach for the Super Bowl run. Tracy Porter, Malcolm Jenkins and Jabari Greer's coach. DBs coach was always the best place for him and what he is best at. Even this season.
Except some of our worst turns have come by DB's flying in with crappy technique. They look like Naruto coming in for armless tackles and it can be seen as far back as the Minny Miracle. That says basics aren't required or stressed.
