And Coleman started as a rookie on that last Jets playoff team. Herm's definitely not afraid to play young safeties. The guy Coleman replaced was Jon McGraw, who was a 2nd round pick in 2002. Herm also had 2nd round rookie Justin Miller starting at CB opposite Law at the end of last year.
And despite that, the Jets finished 2nd in fewest passing yards allowed last year, 7th in yards/pass attempt against, and 5th in INT's. A bit of that is that they were behind a lot... so teams ran on them, but even then they still finished well in stats like INT's that are pretty impressive.

It makes me think whoever is back in the secondary is going to fit.
Herm knows what he is doing, who should be out here, and who shouldn't be out there.
If it's not the rookies, maybe he'll straiten our current safeties.
How do the Safeties fit in the cover 2?
I'm not up to speed on it.
