Which game? First game not so good, second game I thought he was much better. Id say the same thing for Tryon as well, but its still preseason.

If we can stay healthy, I feel like our secondary is fairly solid. But if we have an injury or two, and Tryon/Barnes are forced into duty, things could get ugly quick. I dont like Smoot as a starter, but I feel like he does just fine as the 3rd CB. Hopefully Rogers calf isnt a lingering problem, it sounds way too similar to Springs issues last year. Horton is improving steadily, and Landry is a beast. Like Gtripp said though, Landry is the key and if we were to lose him its gonna be a long season.

Good analysis. I do however think a much improved pass rush will help the secondary simply because opposing QBs will be rushed into throws (often times for shorter yardage), and hopefully the pressure will affect their accuracy as well. It may not make a huge difference, but it can't hurt.
