Our defense, on the other hand, started strong (against crap offenses), but without any real depth, the injuries are pretty harmful. We also have some folks consistently underperforming (Orakpo, Riley, and Merriweather, I am talking to you). If Hatcher can get healthy it helps a lot. And if Cofield can come back and perform well, that does too. I think Robinson has performed very well -- it's been a good surprise, and let's hope he stays healthy. Our secondary will be a mess -- not much positive to see there, although I am hoping the young guys (Amerson and Breeland, in particular, can show some growth by season's end). Our safety situation is just not good. Clark has leadership and is a solid tackler, but doesn't represent a threat to the passing game. When the D line isn' dinged up, the back of the D gets exposed even worse.

It is still early but Dallass' defense has been much improved.
