Zactly - he is a coach and a damn good one....he has tons of experience and will be just what BB needs to help teach the young secondary their responsibilities.
With Hobbs, Richardson, Meriwether and most likely lots of new faces - be they rookies or FA's - lots of teaching will be needed during training camp and throughout the first half of the season. Dom Capers gives BB that much needed help installing what they want to do, they way they want it done.
Other than keeping Rodney (the only experinced guy) - letting Zant and maybe Gay & Scott move on is a good thing. Fresh faces and talent is what they need. By the way...who is Tim Mixon DB NEP?
We need to make plays and stop these seemingly easy first down conversions on 3rd down, through the air from happening. It seemed like there was an inordinate amount of convserions at the worst possible moments over the past few seasons. That may be from a lack of pressure, poor coverage from our LB's (that will change this year as well - look for good cover guys coming in at LB) or just bad DB's - or a combination of all three.
See I hate comments like this. You said:

The facts are: We allowed the FEWEST 3rd down conversions in the NFL last year, and were 4th best in 3rd down conversion allowed %.
This has always annoyed me. Many fans think we are supposed to never allow a 3rd down conversion. We allowed less than 4 a game, and a 34% conversion ratio, and fans are saying we have to fix that problem where we allow easy 3rd conv all day long.
