Again, we get really caught up in individual players when really it's the players fitting into the system that matters the most. This is why we let Sean Smith walk...we utilized his body size to work certain schemes. But he got burned way too many times against high end receivers that he couldn't justify high end pay. His benching in Oakland supports this thought as does his mediocre play as a Dolphin.
Complain about the secondary all you want, the real problem is our inside linebackers. They look incompetent and DJ is showing his age. Teams are going to run the ball down our throats and set up 2nd down and short plays which put our defensive backs in very vulnerable positions.
