DB injuries often occur. Having a stock of DBs to start the training camp is a good thing however, giving all of them opportunities to demonstrate their skill and abilities is a real challenge. All the coaches need to do a great coaching job and then make accurate choices of durable players. Hope all of this comes together this season.

I agree 100% they keep 6 CBs and 4 safeties with Maddox counting as a safety. The other DBs are just camp bodies hoping to make the PS.

This year's camp can't start soon enough for Ennis. He's got to be chopping at the bit to prove to himself and his teammates that he can stay healthy and play at this level. I for one am rooting for him...

For once, we don’t dread when opposite QB throws a 15 yarder. Our confidence as fans has increased in our corners. Oruwariye was pedestrian. Now we have a really good trio with back ups. Even Jacobs was barely adequate

Was looking at the transformation of the CBs and DBs and it might be Holmes biggest success. But then the WRs stunk when he took over and who were the LBs and forget it, just call the makeover of the CB room one of his best. This is just getting so embarrassing.

Love Rakestraw, he was someone I had on my draft wish list, in the first round because he is that good and 1 million percent a Lion. This was a kid that would go home crying because he was too small to play but I guess he showed them. It's all about the injuries with him and that could be why they are keeping him more on the outside. His play is a perfect Nickel/Safety type but it's tough in the middle of the action like that, might be best to let his body mature right now. Besides, they need back-up outside CB more.

TA had 11 penalties as a rookie

8 of his 11 penalties occurred his first month as a starting CB in the NFL

2 penalties occurred in November

1 in December.

I’m very high on him being a sticky cover corner and crushing that over 2.5 INT.
