Aren't the Dallas safeties one of the more obvious areas of concern throughout the league?
Why would the rest of the league have obvious concerns for Dallas safeties?
And there is no way they were worse than Madieu Williams and Doughty in pass coverage. Hall and Wilson were on an island whether they liked it or not all year.

And teams actually ran against Dallas, limiting their passes against. They might have been bad, but no way their safeties were as bad as ours. When it comes to pass coverage, there were no worse safeties than what we had last year. Maybe New Orleans, but I doubt it.
New Orleans gave up the most yards in NFL history last year. I think their safeties may have played a role in that.

I did mention NO, or did you miss that? Plus they were terrible everywhere. Our D-line and LB's were easily better than NO's. But we are specifically talking about safeties in pass coverage, not safeties in supporting the run or overall defense.

Our safeties weren't worse than theirs. That's why I said that.

When talking strictly about pass coverage, I still doubt it.

They gave up more passing yards, more yards per attempt, less INTs, etc.
The Bucs had the worst pass D overall.

You seem to be fixating on overall D. We are specifically talking about safeties in only pass defense, not overall safety play as ours were decent in run support. And Doughty, at times, was much better than that in run support.
Madieu Williams couldnt even figure out what over the top meant and Doughty knew what it meant but was usually to slow to pull it off.
