I think the most disturbing part of "going young" with the DB's last year was no plan B. Want to start the young'ins and let them take their lumps? Fine by me. But what if every stinkin' one of them plays badly? Who spells relief? Dunta was gone, there was no Jacque Reeves to put in there to at least stop the bleeding a bit.... The 4-2 start misrepresented what was to come... Jason Allen was finally acquired about the halfway mark of the season and really didn't see much action until the last 5 games (those last 5 games he had 3 INT's and 4 passes defensed and seemed like a Pro-Bowler compared to the others).
Like the author says, they need to buy a little experience - at least one guy, maybe two (for injury insurance).
