I just feel that, as a group, our defensive backs may not be as bad as Charlie Casserly thinks.
Both DHall and Wilson have played well at CB for long stretches.
At safety, I think that Meriweather and Tanard Jackson are good NFL football players. We just need to get them both on the field for a full season. Reed Doughty is just what you want as a backup safety and ST player.
Getting Orakpo and (hopefully) Carriker back should help the pass rush, which, of course, should help the DB's.
As someone who remembers the Over The Hill Gang that George Allen assembled, I believe that a group of smart, experienced players who play well as a unit can achieve far more than one might think when looking at the individual talent on paper. Our DB's just need to stay healthy and free from suspensions.
Of course we need to add young, talented DB's in the draft, and I think we will, but the vets are still going to have to carry us in 2013.
