I think our secondary is fine. As a matter of fact, they're better than fine, they're outstanding, especially if you look at the starters at each position. They're the reason we can do the things we can on defense without having a pass rush on the front line.

It seems to me that we have an entire corps of pro-bowl caliber linebackers (Arrington, Washington, Barrow) and a lot of potential there in the second and third string. The main thing we're lacking on defense is a decent pass rusher in the front four. Griffin & co. are a brick wall when it comes to stopping plays in the backfield, but we dont have anyone on the edge that will consistantly draw a double team, so we blitz corners and LBs that could be waiting for an errant forced pass caused by up-front pressure, or taking up a little slack in the one on one single coverage departent that is demanded by blitzing a plethera of guys that can cover to compensate a lack of up front pressure.
