I like our LB acquisitions on paper, but we'll have to see how that unfolds... Shootouts anyone? PA Gene-
Couldn’t agree more with you… there’s a huge drop off of “known” talent at CB after our starters and Johnny Patrick is no sure thing, although I like what I’ve seen of him.
With the elite QB’s and Wr’s out there, and on our schedule, we can’t rely on the “magic” we had last year of having the injury bug nowhere in sight.
Even when Drew signs, w/out a solid 2ndary, things could look a whole lot like 2007-2008.
And we even have questions on the D-line left over from last year…
There was minimal pressure put on opposing QB’s, and our 2ndary had to work overtime… 
So, questionable D-line, AND a questionable DB situation?
Depressing thought(s)…
“Romeus, Romeus… where for art thou Romeus..?”
