re: A lot of talent in the DB room

This thread fricking sucks, but I do agree that we have more talent in the DB room than we probably think. Assuming everyone is healthy (big assumption). But there's enough numbers, talent, and experience back there that we should be able to find a nice combination of 5 in whatever positions to field. And they should be a lot better this year than last.

BUT, so much more goes into passing yards given up than simply how good the DB coach is. A ton depends on the DL and how much pressure they can get on the QB. And obviously the DC's scheme, weekly game plans, and how he calls plays in-game. Raymond could have the DBs coached up better than any group in the country, but if every QB is just standing back there patting the ball for 5 or 6 seconds every play, dudes will eventually get open, on even the best secondaries.
