Our base defense, however, may have problems stopping short and intermediate routes. Isolating Fletcher and the CB's in that short flats and middle would be my goal as an O-Coordinator - grab 4-5 yards there on first or second down to keep the 3rd Down package off the field.
For teams incapable of staying out of obvious passing downs, we could have a fearsome defense.

Sounds about right, although if Hall has a good season we'll see him jump some of those short routes for picks. And if Amerson progresses I see him making a great cover corner.
...can't wait to see Rambo get his first pick as a pro. Hope it happens in the first couple games.
