I was watching the 2003 Colts vs. Bucs game on NFL Network and the Bucs had a hell of a defense. They should have won that game pretty easiliy. However, Brian Kelly was out with an injury so the CB duo was Ronde Barber and some guy named Wansley.
To make a long story short, Peyton and the colts scored 4 touchdowns in 4 minutes left in the game because the weak link in the secondary was exposed and exploited.
This was my reasoning behind wanting CB Antoine Cason in the 1st round during the draft. Hopefully, Bennett and Molden can hold their own this season and Reeves can help out too. None of us know when/if Dunta is coming back. I'm optimistic that he'll be up to speed around week 10. By that time, we could be out of the playoffs.
