I think the probability of this new staff prepping him to play more more successfully is high, and his chance of failure in the scheme relatively low. But it does still remain to be seen.

If Darby is able to play opposite him in a similar fashion to his starts in Baltimore - we have a good combo on the outside.

Jarrion Jones looks to be an immediate upgrade at nickel who could challenge for an outside spot if either assumed starter falters.

Cisco should step up in a year when it's time to prove he deserves a new deal. We'll see. He has looked good for the most part but has also been beaten in coverage too many times and has whiffed with some bad angles vs the run a few times too many. I'm pretty optimistic he steps up.

SS could be Johnson or Savage  and there may be dime scenarios with both on the field - but I feel pretty good that the position will improve on the whole compared to what we got out of Jenkins. 

That's a fair amount of optimism on my part, but I like everything I read about the new coordinator and position coaches and I feel some confidence they'll get more out of this group than Caldwell did with the group he had here.

I pretty much share your optimism about this group. It may take a little while, however, for them to get used to Nielsen's scheme. That's why the opener against Tua and the Dolphins looks to me like a probable loss- especially since they are on the road. I'm hoping they'll all be in sync by game 4 against the Texans and their dangerous passing attack.
