I had originally thought that too; but after watching highlights of the 2nd half run last season (a couple times at least), um, the secondary was bad—really bad. The Rams should have blown out a couple teams only to have the games stay tight because of bad coverage and blown assignments. They should have flat out lost to the g-men, but some bad execution saved the day for the Rams. The Rams outplayed the ravens except for a couple big plays, especially passing plays that looked like blown coverages.
Witherspoon is/was a peculiar situation. He had some terrific plays, no doubt, but there were several plays where he was beat and the opposing QB couldn’t make the throw. I was surprised to see how often that happened—more than I remembered at the time.
I like how the Rams look at Safety going into camp, but I remain concerned at CB because White has not shown a full recovery yet. My fingers are crossed on that because if he can’t go, the Rams are back to Durant and Kendrick fighting for a starting job. They both will have to play better than last season.
