Quickest way to fix the secondary is fixing the pass rush.

Free agency, draft, trade, or one of the guys on the roster becomes one.

That is how

Draft 7 CBs next year!

Throw enough shit at the wall...something sticks?

Agree with fixing the pass rush. But Cox is so bad out there. Reminds me of Sammy Davis. Same number, same stature, always late on the ball, always bewildered, etc.

A good pass rush helps but good CB's alow more creative uses of the front seven.

Perhaps another example - and we're not the only team who is victimized by this - of a player who gets his big payday and just coasts??? Isn't he guaranteed over $10 million?

i didn't think Cason was that bad considering the lack of pass rush during his years here, just inconsistent but solid enough number 2 guy. we're essentially paying Cox premium corner money for the same or worse production of either Cason and Jammer.

it also doesn't help that people have high expectations for that uber rare shutdown corner....i mean as maddening as Cromartie's play and character is/was, he's still considered one of the top corners in the league so that should tell you there aren't really that many top corners....

Dam in looking at the 1st round DBs over the last 10 years 2003-2013 you make a good point

Cromartie
Revis
Leon Hall
Patrick Peterson
Joe Hayden
Asomugha- passed on his Raider years

That's not a good % based 41 first round CB

I'm terrified we will draft a CB high next year. They are so low percentage it's scary. Plus the league rules are just so geared towards passing, it's makes the position nearly impossible. I would rather invest in the safety positions and pass rushers and just try to field a decent set at CB.

So simple but true. Ignore corner and draft for pass rush. Add good athletes for DB in fourth -sixth. Rushers in first - third.
