Why is everyone saying this? Sure, losing Delmas for the first 0-0 games will hurt, but Coleman lost 0-0lbs this offseason to improve his speed and I'm sure he'll be decent. Our pass YPG given up ranked 0th in the NFL last year before we lost Houston, Delmas, and Berry for the rest of the season in the Green Bay, and just a side-note we didn't allow any points until they were all out of the game. We can still make a move after roster cuts coming up for a #0 cornerback since teams like the Falcons, Texans, Ravens and Giants have lots of cornerbacks and I'm sure at least 0 will be cut. We have $0 million in cap space, so we might even go for Cedric Benson, too. Either way, our defensive line will be even better next year and take lots of pressure off of the back 0 all season.  If everyone says our pass defense is so bad, can someone explain how it ranked 0th in the league mid-way through the season before losing 0 key players on it?  OK...that defense had all of its starters healthy through those games. What if Delmas' knee issue lingers? Should that happen, it could effectively screw up both safety spots, since once Delmas was out, Spievey became completely lost and went downhill fast. Unless Spievey gets a grip on playing his position without relying on Delmas to cover up for his mistakes, it's a huge loss to start the season with. And despite all the knocks against him, Eric Wright was our best and most consistent tackler in the secondary last year. His pass coverage was spotty, but can we honestly expect anything better out of either Alfonso Smith or a rookie?  We don't know just how good Erik Coleman will be in this defense, since last year he got injured early and we never saw him. Based on that, not knowing if Spievey has got his act together, and a big question mark opposite Houston, I'd say it's worth being worried about.  _________________I will not put on blinders when it comes to our QBs performances.
