I firmly believe, had we added Jairus Byrd to our roster this offseason we WOULD be in that dominant category. Now, we have to hope rookies can come in a help us to that level of play. That is a tall order, especially when our top S Morgan Burnett has been stinking up the joint

A big part of the reason we won that 2010 Super Bowl was the misatches we had with our 3 & 4th wide receivers against other team's nickel and dime backs. I don't think Adams and Boykin/Janis are of the caliber of Jordy and Jones in 2010 yet, but I've been watching the progression of Davante and he definitely has the goods.

I think talking Super Bowl is a little premature right now, but we have the pieces to make the run, now it is up to the Karma Gods to all the fruition to occur.

From what I'd seen of Jairus Byrd up to this point he wasn't having a good season at all. Dude cannot tackle very well and wasn't making much impact in coverage. That entire NO defense that a bunch of people seemed in love with after they won the offseason hasn't been very good as a whole either. Maybe injuries of the last couple years caught up to him but based on his play of the last 4 weeks I'm very glad we didn't sign him regardless of his current injury.

I have little to no concern with our defense backfield. This concern remains with our front seven until I see more consistency out of our run defense and pass rush.
