Both of our safeties are good players and not old. Sean Smith and Vontae Davis are rookies, but look very good for 1st year corners and have a lot of potential. Will Allen has been a playmaker last 2 years for Miami and has been very bad this year, but its not as though he got really old all of a sudden, he still has potential to be good.
In my opinion we need a more consistent pass rush, perhaps putting Taylor and Porter on the same side to rush the QB and Wake on the other side with Merling up the middle on 3rd and longs.
I thought I saw a couple plays in the Jets game where taylor and porter were on the same side. I agree that Porter is not getting anything done. There were some highlights on nfl.com of the jets game and porter was getting blocked by a solo tight end. He needs to be cut.
I don't think the secondary is that bad, I think they just can't get any pass rush. Qbs shouldn't have time to wait for their wrs to run 40 yards down the field before he throws the ball. The coverage is tight, but the receivers are just making huge plays against them.
