That's the way some would look at it.....
My take is, if we can improve the DLine and nab Bing/Simpson/Watkins at FS, that increased pressure from the front four (along with improved play from our safties) will enable us to play Herm's Cover-2 with Surtain and the winner of Battle/Hodge/Perkins/Johnson/FA acquisition. I think saftey is a bigger need for us, especially since the "experts" let Warfield walk--I think they must be somewhat comfortable with the situation at CB.
I'm of the opinion, that much of our problem with pass defense stems from a lack of pressure from the front four, and too many gambles and poor tackling from our safties. You fix those two problems, and suddenly even Sapp would probably do a decent job at the #2 CB position.
With Avant, his measurables don't reflect his football ability. He won't be a stretch the field deep-threat, but we already have Parker and Kennison. He's more of a possession, catch it over the middle, move the chains kind of WR.....who will also be good in the red zone--especially against zone coverages dictated by the presence of LJ and Gonzo.
As for the "attitude and character" questions some are concerned about with Dvorcek, how many players on our current roster have the same problem? And not the potential or talent. I can think of 6 or 8 pretty quickly....
