4. We don't know what we have in Christian Rolland-Wallace, Nazeeh Johnson or Eric Scott yet. But many believe CRW is the second best slot guy on the roster after Mcduffie and Nazeeh and Eric have traits that could be moulded into a decent player as the season progresses hopefully.
5. Next Thursday will be the first time our top defense will take the field. Until we see the whole squad together it's futile to judge it. Watson, Williams and Nazeeh never played with Reid, Bolton, Jones etc in the limited minutes they had this preseason and that matters imo.
So my point is let's wait and see what our secondary does when all the best players are on the field together.

#5 is actually a really good point. Justin Reid and Nick Bolton haven't played. Chris Jones hardly played. We really haven't seen what this defense is going to look like this season. And then Omenihu will be back sometime around midseason.
