Arrington did a good job as a starter, but he never should have been there.
With two good corners backing up McCourty to saferty, we get instant qualit depth at both positions, plus lots of guys who can play slot, outside, or safety.
No comparison to last year. Trash depth just means more trash. Also have Moore available if necessary, which is a lot better than sifting through the leagues trash if problems arise.
Wouldn't be awful to use Scott or Francis more while we work Jones back in. If we get more pass rushers with confidence, that leaves a depth issue at LB and a lack of a cover linebacker, which could be a way to get Gregory, Chung and Wilson some playing time to solve coverage issues.
I'd like one more tackle, but Brace could spell Love sometimes, which, I assume, is why he's on the roster. Don't laugh, the guy can stone ball carriers and collapse the pocket, so while he's breathing, I'll assume he'll be able to play.
What I'm saying is, opposed to last year, when we depended on prayer, this whole defense can come together. Doesn't mean they will, but they have the horses IMO.
