    You typed a lot of words to say what everyone has already mutually agreed on for the most part.

    Part of the problem of not being able to cover is making it too easy on QB's. If we play up, they throw a fade or GO route (with max protection) or quick slant and our rushers don't have time to get there. Since we can be beaten over the top, we can play our guys off...and then they again carve us up in the quick passing game.

    If we can start covering people who can cover short without being exposed deep (our biggest problem), our rush will look even better and actually get to some of the better qb's. Our rushers are fine...but our secondary has been pretty bad!

    Could we use an upgrade? Sure, but our secondary needs a major overhaul if we want the D to be able to function well against the pass!

    Is that from PFF?

    Of course, the risk is, Trumaine Johnson was pretty awesome in 2015 and if he had been free, probably would have gotten big bucks like Jenkins did. But he had a mediocre year. Bouye now comes out of nowhere with an awesome year...what will he be like next year on a different team in a different system?

    I worry about Bouye as well because of how good the Texans DL was at pressuring the QB...we all know a great pass rush makes all CBs look better. He also had other solid CBs playing along with him which certainly helps too.

    But we have got to land ourselves a solid starter in FA and he certainly appears to fit the bill as well as anyone else available.
