I thought we were getting away from that cover two stuff.
You can distribute responsiblity to the strength of the players, but ultimately if there is a weakness in one of the CBs, a good QB will take advantage of his matchups. A great unit must have some semblance of balance.
I'm more worried about our safeties than CBs anyway. Landry will get burned a lot if forced to play as a rookie, and Taylor gets burned a lot as is. That and our DL is a recipe for disaster against good passing attacks.
I hope we do a lot more man coverage this year.
