One can only hope that the secondary ends up coming through for us in the future, slowly growing into a cohesive unti that puts a little fear into offensive coordinators around the league. I’m slightly optimistic on the fact that it will happen if only for what has already been mentioned; they are extremely young, but more importantly, they are young together.

My only concern is with the level of improvement that will occur. Sure, there is plenty of potential, but how high is that ceiling? There is a reason most of these guys are all late round draft picks or went undrafted completely. Granted two were picked in the second round (Houston/Milloy) and two were in the third round, but as for the rest we all have to hope that they play up to their potential. I think it’s a serviceable crew for sure, but it is definitely going to be bad before it gets good.

You can clearly count me as one who favors the big time corner or safety like D-Hall. I do believe that a team is clearly better defensively when you have someone of that talent level on your side. But I also recognize that you don’t really need it so long as the whole DB squad is sound. Sure, you won’t have that one person who can shut down the big time WR’s just about every Sunday, but you also won’t sell yourself out at the other positions to attain that superstud player’s services either.

With that being said, and after doing a little reading on the play of our guys so far, I am reasonable optimistic about the potential outcome. I guess we’ll see how far I change my tune after week one huh? HA!
