I don't know that he ever had the DB's, but then again alot of times it seemed like Wilcox didn't either. In the 3 years of the Dooley era, ever unit has progressed. It hasn't always been linear but look at where all units were last year compared to this year. Only QB needs more consistent play but is overall better. DB's were and are atrocious. Having to compensate for the older guys brought in at the position when we needed warm bodies is to the point it's rediculous, they haven't improved and young guys haven't stepped up enough in practice or games yet.
Again this isn't a team thing or even a defensive unit thing. It's one concentrated group of players that are atrocious week in, week out and they killed us in spots last year, and it's happening again.
