I sure hope Briggs and Beason aren't controlling the secondary...

While many a MLB is responsible for making the huddle calls & most wear the radio reciever like the QB on offense...the MLB is more involved in making frontal adjustments at the LOS...I would contend that most coverage related adjustment are made by one or both of the Safetys...as the Safety has the best overall view of offensive formations and thus is better able to make formational coverage adjustments than is the MLB...often times the MLB takes coverge directives/audibles from a Safety and than the MLB double relays/repeats this call to the front 7.

I would agree that there are situations whereby a MLB many call a blitz that in turn may call for a coverage change...but the blanket statement that the MLB is the QB of the defense is not always true...often the guys with the best overall view of offensive formations and motions is the true QB of the defense...this is often a Safety...

if Briggs was 3-4 yrs younger I'd say go get him...but beings he is becoming elderly by NFL standards I think not...
