re: The Lombardi Colored Glasses

I'm concerned but wouldn't say worried. This is the softest 3 game stretch in the schedule. We'll have Reggie & PT back. Then we might have 2 strong proven backups. Betts has been very solid in the past and only recovery from the knee job is why he wasn't in demand. He could end up being a real steal.

For DBs, we went through stretches last year without Porter and Greer, some at the same time! The NE game with McKenzie & McAlister comes to mind. Good news is Porter will be back. Harper could be back this week. And we have Sharper and Ingram to return too. Jenkins has looked good enough that I don't think Sharper automatically displaces him. They might both be on the back end in some alignments. I haven't been the biggest Usama fan but last week might have been the best I've ever seen him at a position he hasn't played before.
