What would you trade for secondary help?

Adapting to the GW defense is not an instant process for anyone. League rules not withstanding, the deadline for adding personnel to improve the defense has long since passed.

CBs can play man without learning a system. CBs could also probably learn the defense in time for the end of the season and the playoffs. Not in time to help us replace Springs, but in time to help us win the Super Bowl.

I think the CBs we have now may learn the system by the playoffs. They started looking better against Houston. I think that each week we should see fewer big plays and more 3 and outs. Getting a new corner may be a priority next year, but the guys we have now will probably need to do the job for this year.

Sheriff, I usually agree with you and have much respect for what you do around here. But I've got to disagree with your analysis on a few points....

1. In the GW defense, the CB is required to do much more than go man up. In addition, any CB who falls into the category of being a solid cover corner is going to be impossible to purchase.

2. By time we get to the SB or playoffs, the CBs we have now will be much more up to speed than they were up to this point. They are not lacking in athletic ability.

3. The probability (but by no means certainty) is that by time we end up in the second half of the season, SS will be back on the field.

All fair points. I just hope our CBs do in fact get up to speed. Thus far I am very disappointed with Rogers and I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever see Springs.
