[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 292495, member: 1007"] The main reason we got shredded was because we were plagued by injury at one position, losing three people at CB, and then Bigby at Safety for a bit. This season we'll have Harris, Blackmon and Lee back healthy, along with Underwood and rookie Sam Shields, who has shown he's got a great eye for the ball. We also have rookie safety Morgan Burnett, who has also demonstrated some ability. One thing to keep in mind is a "shut down corner" is *much* easier to game plan for than a solid pass rush. If you have a corner like Nnamdi Asomougha, who only plays for half the field, your gameplan is to have your best receiver play on the opposite side. If you have a guy like Woodson, your route running schemes can usually find holes to get your receivers open. With a pass rush, it's all or nothing. You have no idea where it's going to come from on any given play. You can practice having the pocket collapse on you, but you can't really game plan for it. And I think we're going to have a pretty good pass rush this season, something we lacked last year.
