Tough competition at safety

My "Cliff's Notes" theory about the safeties last year, was that they (particularly Stafford) had to be counted on too much in run support due to the weakness of the front 7. As a result, Stafford was often baited out of position by play action, leaving our corners on an island. We saw how that went most the time.

Improve the play of the front 7, and improved safety play will likely follow. Get some LB's that can cover the flanks and some DL's that can carry their weight and the defense will have a more balanced approach.

The players are definitely there for us to have a very good secondary.
