The main thing is this, if you discount our rookies and pacman then we have the shallowest secondary in the NFL. I mean we have what 3 safties and 2 CBs, or maybe 3 CBs?

We have Newman, Henry, Ball, Oglesby, Butler and Everett at cornerback and Williams, Hamlin, Watkins, Brown at safety. That's 10 players.

Plus the rookies and Jones.

Plenty of teams are more shallow in the secondary, especially if you don't count their rookies.

Would you feel comfortable with any of those not named Newman and Henry actually taking the field for meaningful snaps right now?

Would any team feel comfortable fielding cornerbacks that aren't there normal starting Cb's?

Or their next top two or three cornerbacks (depending on Jones' status).

If Jones gets reinstated, we'll have three quality starters, a first-round rookie as our No. 4 cornerback and two other recent draft picks (Scandrick and Ball) as Nos. 5 and 6.

And some people are worried about Nos. 7-9?

How many teams would feel "comfortable" with their No. 7, 8 or 9 cornerback taking meaningful snaps?

Yeah, it's us and San Diego, and I dare say we shall pass up San Diego this year... as long as we stay healthy.

No one could. No way to get experience that far down into the barrel even if they all were top notch.

If Jenkins does as well as most seem to think he can do and Jones is reinstated we are at the top of the hill and likely king of it.

God bless that imbecile Don Imus for opening his mouth... that only helped Pacman's chances at full reinstatement. It reminds me of this Bible verse about God turning curses into blessings. Afterall, we are God's team right? Maybe he's just paying us back for leaving the hole in Texas Stadium? :D

OMG. Jammer is Deangelo Hall with a tad smaller mouth and slower! What were they thinking?

i don't see how the ravens aren't in the top 5.

They have Chris McAlister and that is about it. Fabian Washington? A washed up Samari Rolle? They would actually make my overrated list, not underrated.
