for an extension. He was a great cover Safety a lot of the time, but a poor tackler at times and made plenty of mistakes.

We should also remember that we wouldn't have Daxton Hill here if Jessie Bates was still a Bengal. I like Dax's upside much more than
I did Jessie's before we drafted either one and still stand by this big time. Dax can do everything that Jessie does well, we just have yet
to see him truly get a chance like Jessie had.

I agree with most of what you said, Nate.  I'm as excited for our new players as you are.  However, last year's secondary was like a great pot of soup.  All of the ingredients were good or fit well, the pot had been stirred (coached well) and basically it satisfied well.  This year, we're looking at "new soup", new players that we aren't sure how they will respond to the coaching.

I have a strong feeling that come the end of the season, all will be well with our feelings on the secondary, but I really feel like the first half of the season will be vulnerable on the back end.  The second half of the season should be quite exciting to see all of these new play makers in action.
