That would be a disaster but I think it's more of working the rust off. That game is not Skins football- missing both CB's and S while starting a rookie. CJ2K's big run, could have been a 0yd stop by Rak. Rak doesn't make that mistake during the regular season.
As far as LF falling off, I'd say he's been slipping and will continue to slide only b/c he's losing a step and is a target vs the pass for his lack of size. He's earned my trust and will be a good leader on the field.
I think Barnett is good vs the run but I don't trust him to spell LF vs the run. We need LF spelled vs the pass, IMO. It will be interesting to see how Haslet tries to save LF's legs for this long season and rotate guys. I'm very optimistic with healthy able bodies Has can be successful.
