[QUOTE="DILLIGAFF, post: 271552, member: 1719"] I agree that our secondary is fine or adequate as is, but any position can be upgraded except if you win the defensive player of the year award, then the best of the best. 2 things made our secondary look bad. First injuries and a lot of them. Just about any team will look bad with the number of injuries we had in our secondary. Second a solid defense can get by with those types of injuries if you get good and consistent pass rush from our front 7 of which we did not. So there are two ways to help improve the secondary, find more Woodson type players or improve our lineman and Line Backers in our pass rush. This is why I think Hawk has to go, he does some things well but seriously lacks pass coverage and pass rushing abilities. I think Nick Barnett is serviceable and being 1 year removed from knee surgery will help. Improvement in Brad Jones play or finding another outside LB to do what we hoped Kampman would be is another solution. Johnny Jolly's biggest knock on him is his pass rushing, example his INT (he is not getting to the QB), though his run stopping abilities are tremendous. Our other lineman are ok, but nothing spectacular. Hopefully Raji improves our pass rush in his second year with that burst that got him drafted 9th overall. So we could tremendously help our secondary by adding another dynamic inside LB, another power rusher outside LB, and another lineman that has pass rushing abilities without drafting another safety or corner back.
