Quote:1)  That's a different argument than saying the secondary was decent.."probably the best unit consistently on the field, where they pro-bowlers NO, did we have capable starters that allowed us to compete,"

 

2)  So you would have given Cox a $22 million contract he got from SD, even assuming he wanted to stay?  Despite he has been horribly injury prone and inconsistent during his time here?

 

3)  Where do you see the "greatness" in a secondary of Cox, Landry, W. Blackmon and Cyprien?  Where is your shutdown corner?  I've discussed Cox above.  Will Blackmon is a Seattle castoff.  Where is your ball hawking safety?

 

4) So using your recommended cuts of Ross, Mathis and Middleton, you still assert secondary wouldn't have been a major need?!?

 

1.) No it's not a different argument, we created a need in the secondary instead of addressing the lack of Pass Rush.

 

2.) Yes a starting CB getting $22 Million isn't crazy

 

3.) Shut down corners are myths it's a passing league, you need a secondary that can tackle, you have to get to the QB to stop the air game today. The above mentioned are more then capable of making the stop and preventing the YAC not to mention Cox had a nose for INT's. Keep in mind Lowery and Landry would've meant we didn't NEED to draft Cyprien in the 2nd, plenty of other positions we could've addressed.

 

4.) I'm not recommending the cuts of anyone, I'm pointing out we keep "upgrading" every position but the one's of biggest need.
