I think the secondary coaching has been phenomenal and if they were given more talent, would be once again, among the best in the league.

Pretty remarkable what ET and Al Harris have done coaching up the DB's. Glad Harris is there to hopefully take over when Emmitt retires. Tommy Brasher too on the DL. Guy is like 75 and coaching the hell out of the DL. Good for young Brit Reid to learn from as well as the players. Damn excited to see Howard resigned and sticking around. He developed here even though KC didn't draft him. Was a gifted present on the waiver wire from Seattle's stacked roster, just like Parker, and good on Dorsey, Ballard, and Will Lewis coming from Seattle himself, to identify those guys.
They kept Marcus Cooper last year and could have easily have cut him. He's got a chance for some snaps somewhere, possibly even safety, if he's got his confidence back and it's not shot. There's still something to work with there IMO and if any staff is going to get it out of him it's ET and Harris
