I'm watching the defense as a "unit" rather than watching the secondary as "individual players" and judging their positions. If some of you guys that are more experienced in defensive schemes are digging your heals in that it's a couple of individual players, then I hope you are correct in your analyst.
Perhaps I am burying my head in the sand in thinking it's much easier to replace 1 guy, than it is 8-11 players.
And maybe it's not fair because it's 2 opposite sides of the ball, but I was a big promoter of the following scenario over the years. (and I was so right.)
While many Chiefs fans were claiming "Alex Smith is elite and needs an entire new OLine and some Elite Receivers." I was countering with... "no, we need a real QB who can make our OLine and WR's look better."
I was right. Mahomes made Albert Wilson look great. Mahomes makes Robinson look good. Mahomes is taking Hill to another level.

Defense is more about all 11 working together though. Little bit different.
