“(We) have a number of guys on that back end that are intriguing,” [defensive coordinator Joe] Whitt said. “That’s why we brought Jason Simmons in and Tommy Donatell, to get those guys … to believe in the techniques that we’re going to teach ’em and the scheme that we’re gonna put them in.”
The entire roster appeared highly engaged with the new staff throughout organized team activities.
“I was very excited that we hired Dan Quinn, and I like my defensive coordinator, corner coaches and all that,” [second-year cornerback Emmanuel] Forbes said.
There’s no forgetting the secondary’s implosion last year, but “the one thing that we can do first is put last year behind them,” Simmons said.
