How can you say we have better defensive backs this season. We lost 2 db's that were drafted top forty. Washington was a 3 year starter. Who do we have in the db backfield with substancial experience. Just bullocks. I think grixby will turn out allright, I see him like washington was when he started. Thrown to the wolves as a freshman, burnt quite a bit, but becoming a solid player in the end. His size somewhat concerns me though going against a 6'4" 215 lb receiver. Hopefully he will turn out like Miles. As for the other corner there is no one that has been proven at a D1 level. Sure bowman sounds good on paper, but he has never played at this level. I hope he does turn out to be the lockdown corner we need. As for FS we lost an all big 12 player. Sure shanle played well in his appearance against Kstate, but we need him for a whole season, not just one game. I know there are other athletes that will hopefully step in and contribute,green, wilson, souder, brothers, defrand(if he is healthy) but my point is that we lost 2 highly drafted nfl players in the secondary last year and I don't think you can say that the players we have now are better. I don't think the secondary was burnt so much last year because of lack of talent. It was predicted as one of the top secondaries in the nation at the beginning of last season and they ended up finishing the season 110th. Hopefully our pass rush is better this year and it looks like our lbs have better speed to cover the flats and get deeper drops in coverage. All of this working together will give us a better secondary, not just better db's, which I can't say we have.
