In a secondary this young, you need your veterans to step up.

At the cornerback position, Whigham and Morgan have been beyond dreadful. Morgan's play on the play-action swing pass either vs. Wake or CMU was downright embarrassing. He went after the RB (who didn't have the ball) after hesitating and even looking up! Morgan has been especially disappointing - he was supposed to be a big-time recruit coming out of high school. Another NYC kid failing to live up to billing, IMO.

Both have zero awareness and at that position, technique and awareness is almost as important as athletic ability. The jury is still out on both Dowels & Hudson I think. Winfield has the athletic ability but is extremely raw.

I think the real problem with the defense, though, is with the safeties. Williams is a midget, as is Cordy. They play against 6-4 TE's and they can't make a play regardless of if they are in position or not. Unless you're a freak like Shamarko, it's really an inhibiting factor to have midget safeties running around. Ellison is another one that is tiny. Scissum has the size but was probably the worst of any of them last week. Out of position repeatedly and couldn't tackle to save his life.

Not sure if we should chalk these last two games up as bad days, as a sign of things to come, or as two of the better throwing QBs we will see this year... I really have no idea.
