But if you recall, Clark was pretty bad against the run, yet we still had a superior run defense as well. With his cover skills, Gregg Williams was more comfort leaving more guys in the pocket to stuff the run.

That said, Carlos would really have to step it up to be a #1 corner, and smoot would have to get back to his old self. I think there is still the possibility that Bly could come over. Whether archuleta is involved in that trade or not (Lynch is getting old...) I doubt it, but we gotta move on from him.

This sounds good in theory but Springs is the only guy that has proven that he can shut down a #1. They aren't going to pay him 7 million to be a strong safety.

It would make more sense to move Rogers or Smoot to SS before Springs at this point.

Springs last year here is going to be on the island.
