Very true statement. The ease with which Joe frikkin Flacco picked us apart in the first half was disgusting. Hopefully, C Griff will upgrade the CB just a tad when he gets back, and hopefully we can get the terrible tandem of Doughty and Madoodoo WIlliams back on the bench. Our safety play is the most important position to fill come the offseason. Just one average player at either of the safety positions would translate into a much better pass defense, and with the addition of Orakpo coming back, it will be that much better. Things are definitely looking up for the defense, as long as we can get rid of Doughty and Williams.
