I also disagree with the proposition that having Surtain on the field will but the opposite CB in a position of LESS "duress"...The fact that Surtain is out there will mean the opposite CB will become a target. That CB will be targeted until he shows he's competant. I was already concerned about how Warfield would hold up as a #2 CB this year. 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.

There is no doubt that we need better depth at CB (even if Warfield wasn't suspended), but I think people are a little too freaked out about the situation. I catch myself doing it too, but when I step back and think about what the team has done in the off-season we should be alright with all of the other changes we've made.
#1 CB - Upgrade #2 CB - Upgrade with Warfield - No worse than last year without. SS - Upgrade FS - No worse, probably better with the competition OLB - Upgrade on both sides MLB - ?, probably no worse. Hopefully competition will bring out the best DE - No worse, probably better with Hall coming in during passing situations DT - No worse, probably a little better with some experience in Guns scheme |

AirForceChief,
You expressed an opinion about how well Rand clarified/emphasized the fact that Warfield is expected to miss 4 games from the get go, so I can't say you are wrong, but I disagree. I think he made that issue pretty clear. Maybe we just don't agree on how big of a deal it is to begin with. Quote:

On the other hand, I expect the #2 cornerback spot to be greatly improved over the last several years. The same with the nickel. |
