Whoever is back there is going to suffer by comparison. Pro-bowl caliber safeties aren't out of work the second week of the season.
Exactly.
This isn't like replacing Brad Jones, or Frank Zombo.
It's going to be a significant dropoff, downgrade.
I didn't think we could sustain the loss of J-Mike last year, and we did somehow.
Hopefully somehow Burnett can play lights-out and Peprah his steady self.
But the problem is there's no way in the world both of them will go without getting hurt. Both of them could go down.
We need to get backups ready, sooner than later. There is nobody competent at safety after them. And don't give me Brandon Underwood.
This loss really really bums me out, saddens me.
