Cooper is young and still learning, so he gets a pass, but Sean Smith is a liability as long as we don't have an answer at FS.
We better damn well have the answer in Abdullah or Commings, otherwise this secondary is still going to be abused.

Our guys got pushed off their position by the rub too much. They struggled even when in press coverage against Denver.
We have to get more physical at the line and we need more speed. Gaines definitely addresses the latter.
I totally agree with you about the need at FS. I just didn't see a clear-cut answer in the draft the way you did.
My answer would have been to bring in Clemons - he's more of a pure, speedy FS than any of the guys that were available in the draft. So once again, I see free agency as the big failure here.
