-Gaines had a torn ACL last year. He's the starting corner opposite of Peters. It's going to take him a few games to get back. He only played in one preseason game iirc.
-Houston, a top 3 pass rusher in the NFL is out.
-Hali didn't play much in the first half. When he started playing it was a completely different ball game. They started to put pressure on Rivers.
-Berry held out for much of the offseason.
I think we will get a better feel for the defense week 4ish. I wasn't high on the secondary before the season started, but we need to give them some time to catch up to game speed.
