My theory being that as our #1 last year he didn't get targeted as often as he would opposite Surtain. Last year the drop off in talent between Warfield and whomever was getting burnt on the other side of the field was a no brainer for offensive coordinators...just throw it against #2 and watch the yardage pile up. We could be in a similar position this year.

It's very likely that Warfield will get picked on more this year than last year. He will probably not have as good a year this year as he did lat year, and his actual skills or lack thereof may be more exposed this year.
On the other hand, I expect the #2 cornerback spot to be greatly improved over the last several years. The same with the nickel.
