We accomplished this without any great cover safeties or LBs and a pass rush that was far from elite.  

If teams could get these type of results with "later round talent" at CB then they would all be doing it.  But the fact is our CBs are required to do a lot more than you undrestand.  And they do it very well.

Your condescending tone of "a lot more than you understand" notwithstanding, the fact is that you are taking a four or five year average on this subject (again) and cherry picking (again) a single stat that tries to support your arguement when, in fact (again) the defense struggled the past two seasons and we repeatedly saw DBs playing off coverage and getting nickel-and-dimed underneath.  

The bottom line is:  what they have been doing isn't working.  That is a part of the reason for the coaching changes.
