There is some good news this year, I think we found another diamond in the rough with Josh Wilson. The guy us a baller. He is exciting on returns, and he is also super human quick in coverage. He has made all of the big plays for us the last few weeks. If he was just a little taller he would be perfect.
As far as the DBs go. I hope that we move to a different D coordinator next year, and can replace Brian Russel as a safety. One of our huge problems is that he is limited physically because he is getting old. Mentally, he knows the game, but just can't make the plays. This means that we almost never play bump and run coverage, so we are susceptible to slants and in/out routes all day long. I believe that this is probably the answer to J7s question regarding the DBs.
Truf, Jennings and Wilson can all keep up with any receiver in the league, but they are constantly picked on quick outs, because they give 7 or 8 yard cushions of the LOS. Last year Truf was Pro Bowl, and it was because of 2 things 1) he wasn't wearing a cast and 2) he was really confident in the safeties. Russel lost a step and that is the problem.
