No I think he was having a good year too, but I still think we haven't seen much in the way of improviement from anyone in the secondary. Dunta's a guy that was pretty good right out of the gate, but never really taken the next step. I may be overstating the regression some too, but I still think it's a valid point that the DB's aren't getting any better.

One other note on Kubiak. He came from a place where they have had the same head coach for a long time. A coach that showed him a lot of loyalty as well. I don't know the reasons, but Kubiak has shown that he will bring in guys with the same basic function of the guys already on staff. Rhodes to work with the DB's while Hoke's still here. Gibbs for the O line, but keeping Benton on staff. Bush and Smith. Karmelowicz and Franklin.


I give credit to McNair for paying all of those salaries, but the question is is Kubiak bringing in coaches who seem to be redundant because he thinks they make the team better....or because he doesn't have the heart to fire guys who he doesn't think are cutting it?
