I hope you're right, but I have my doubts. Did you see our defense after Weeden came in? Haslett totally went away from the aggressive rush and basically said, "Okay, we're going to make this backup QB prove he can beat my secondary." And that's exactly what happened. I love Amerson and Breeland, but not only are they still young, but the safeties behind them are mediocre on a good day. Haslett needs to go up against every QB with the mindset that that QB will destroy his secondary if given time(because he probably will), and then bring the dogs to counter that. IMO.
