Money spent on Safety

I think it's large blend of how those choose to generate pass rush.
they might not have to blitz to get an effective rush/push/sack etc. Or they might need to blitz and want a killer safety tandem.

Cooper, while an awesome find, got exposed a bit late in the season. Which, is to be expected. I think he'll do nothing but improve. Flowers and Cooper could be a good tandem (at least until Flowers gets even older).

our secondary got roasted late last year, IMO, because we had dick for a pass rush and had to resort to blitzing to even stand a chance.

I still think Cooper will improve, and having Crap, at best, for help over the top didn't do him or any of our cover guys favors. Not to mention, I do believe that once teams figured out just what a liability Lewis really was, it forced our hand in how we were able to call coverages, aggressiveness in the press, etc, to alleviate the responsibilities and pressure put on Lewis.
