Our secondary certainly wasn't good last year, and on paper it's awful right now, but I think Phil is extatic that our defensive line became a strength overnight.
There's no way we go into the season with the current roster at DB right now either. We will pick up a starting CB whether through trade or free agency.

I disagree on how bad the secondary is with the roster right now. Eric Wright is a player, and he'll develop, I think, into a shut-down corner this year. The safeties are average and the other corner position can be shored up if McDonald continues to emerge.
What is a fair criticism is that the secondary is thin... very thin, and if there is an injury, they're gonna have some major problems.
