Q: As a safety and a captain on this defense, do you take more accountability for the way your secondary group performs?
DM: Definitely. I think one cool thing about our defense is we almost have a captain at every level. Playing safety, I think you kind of have to be accountable for the whole defense and the coverage as whole because so much of the communication will be between those two safeties letting the corners know, letting the linebackers know what we’re doing, what coverage we’re playing and different things like that. Being a captain and a safety, I think a lot of the communication falls on me and whoever else is in at safety. Especially with me and Steve [Gregory] in there, we have to do a lot of communicating.
Q: Do you like that responsibility?
DM: Yeah. It’s good. You have to put the work in studying and know what different guys are doing, what the offense is doing, what your guys need to do. That’s always key. When you can get guys on the same page, I think that’s when we play at our best.

Sounds as though the CBs and LBs don't know what coverage the safeties are playing after breaking the huddle until the safeties make a call. Even if we got the best FA safety available your still asking that guy to come in and take on this decision making and communication responsibility and there's no way he will no the defensive playbook better than McCourty.
