[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 690749, member: 10441"] i'm not disagreeing about a better corner back helping. that's thing about young guys, they don't get to play in meaningful games, until they get to play in meaningful games. Until then, you base it off what you see. They were all over their competition in the preseason. Many of those guys played against 1,2's and 3's. They looked like they belonged then when our top guys were sitting out. It's all we can base it on. and I think had they only had to subsititue 1 or 2 at a time in, and put them in various situations to give them that experience, all would be well, or at least better. But it's not the situation we found ourselves in. I know a better DB would have helped us, but would it have been enough? I'll never buy that Cromartie, Browner or Williams was going to do anything other than be different. We'd still have problems. Those guys still need to be covered up with help because they are not good anymore. But when was that better one supposed to have been gotten? Training camp? maybe, but hardly anybody saw this coming then and they were going with Shields and his big dollar contract and were invested in1st and 2nd round draft picks to round out our top 3. and if later in the season, when? and who was available, and at what cost? at one point, we would have needed 2 or 3 other DB's and there is no team 6 deep with starting DB's.
