In most systems, such concerns wouldn't be that big of a deal, but GW asks his corners to do an awful lot.

This defense used to be the shit. We would blitz from everywhere and stop the run while covering everyone down field.

I won't mind if he doesn't blitz though, as long as he can somehow help sean taylor in the back field, I'll be happy. I feel the same way about smoot as I do about clark. They both are pretty good but they aren't going to make the pro bowl. They just fit our system. Smoot should have never left. Maybe I'm just hoping bringing back smoot will be a step in making this a GW defense again.
