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.
Yes, it will be a growing experience, especially for Dax Hill and Nick Scott at Safety. All I know is there were times last year when Bates
clearly was playing not to get hurt. That will not be the case with these guys at Safety.
