A good DL and pass rush help, I don’t think Secondary is as big of a problem as everyone acted.  You play man with no safety help you’re gunna get burned.  You do that vs teams who have better athletes you get burned more often.

So, the question is did our secondary get better than our opponent's offensive weapons? Does LB play factor in? We got burned over the middle quite a bit last year.

I'll hang up and listen.

IMO Davis is better than Preston was in coverage.  It remains to be seen if Muhammad is better than McClain ( I think this scheme fits him better than McClain) and Brooks looks to be back to his old ways.  I think DL improvements and LB physicality make up for the deficit some along with improved DB play.  I don't personally think our secondary is where it needs to be speed wise for the FAU type teams.  I think the front 6 can make up for that though.

Without a semblance of pressure from the DL, the secondary doesn’t have much of a chance.  Look what happens when Fine is given time.  Of course, we can also say look what Fine does when he doesn’t have time (UTSA).
