On the DBs: the safeties...are interesting. With the Holder/Harris-less bunch we've been trotting out, Murphy looks passable...but Alexander has looked dire the past two weeks, and it seems like opponents make a special effort to pick on him. (Then again, given the general averageness-at-best of the defense, it seems like opponents can do whatever they'd like and succeed.)

Meeks looks solid.

So while I'd be happier with both Harris and Holder coming back, even getting one healthy corner installed would be a nice boost.

Projecting forward, it'll hurt to lose Harris but I'm confident in the corners and nickel. At safety, the question to me is how fast Reid improves -- I think he'll be excellent eventually, but the question is on what timetable.
