    Another factor that the coaches won't be able to see until the preseason games is how good these guys are in supporting the run.

    And that's a huge factor for us.

    McCourty is about as good as Mouton... whom is about as good as an injured Tye Hill, whom is about as good as Nick Harper...

    I pray that Finny learned how to play on the left side... we'll get eaten up there. Again.

    Let's not forget that last year Mccourty and Mouton were so bad that we couldn't wait for Harper to return from injury

    They were also rookies playing against Tom Brady and the Patriots in the snow.

    CB is one of those spots its tough to come in and play as a rookie.

    For our d it all depends on our pass rush. With a good pass rush well have at least 2 pro bowlers in our secondary. Without, well finny will get burned too.

    My expectation isn't to just have a better CB than Harper was last year i want a guy who is better than Hood. I want a guy is is actually good. We have made a commitment towards a boatload of 3-5 rd Cbs in the last 10 years and so few have even been helpful.

    Echols-Beckham-Gardner-waddell to add to Pacman and Woolfolk. Now we have 3 more draft picks in 2 years with Mouton-Mccouty-Verner. Damn somebody better step up and be good!

    It wasn't just Harper out it was Finny and Fuller also. Those guys didn't have a chance and while it was an opportunity to prove they can play in this league i'm going to give them a pass and chalk it up to experience.

    Too many issues last year defensively. You can point the finger in any direction, it was just that bad. No Haynesworth, new coordinator, tons of injuries, lack of experience, Kerry Collins at QB. The defense was in a real bad spot last year. Not being able to convert on 3rd&shorts had our defense sucking wind early. Notice once the offense stayed out longer, the defense improved. I'm always willing to give a rookie a second chance, but not a third. If Mouton & McCourty can't beat out some newbies, well "good-bye losers"!

    I really like Mcourty I think he is solid and thats what we need.
    As long as Finny gets the number #1 WR he or whoever gets that CB spot is gonna be OK.

    Also in the Pats game last year it was 2 rookies vs Tom Brady.
