If Blache likes to focus on CBs why don't he coach up the Torrence kid and make him a reliable guy?

Springs is 33 years old and has been injury prone. Smoot is not a #1 CB in this league, he is a great #2 or #3. Carlos Rogers will be back on the field some time in September, but his injury will take at least another year before he is close to being back to normal. You are never the same after the severe type on knee injury Carlos had. We need to develop this position. The NFL has changed rules to make it a more pass happy league. You need 3 to 4 quality CB's. Plus add injuries during the season and this position becomes very important. Quality and Quantity is important.
