    There are not many bright spots for the Texans, but I think we got 2 very talented safties. CC Brown has had a solid rookie season and he will get only better. By the way, he is only 22. Glenn Earl also has played good lately, and he is only 24. Dunta Robinson hasn't been as good as last year but he is still going be a Pro Bowl type corner in the future and he is only 23. DeMarcus Faggins is solid but I think he is better as nickle rather than being a starter. At least we have a solid young secondary that we could look forward too.

    Our secondary sucks. Been loosing us the past many games.

    Shante Orr is also a great talent. Really pressures the QB. Almost pulled of a safety.

    Buchanan sucks, but the rest are decent. They don't suck.

    You cant blame every single bad secondary move on Buchanon. Faggins hasnt been impressive, we really need another CB.

    OK. I'll agree with you there.

    For a minute there I thought you had our entire secondary sucking.

    I think one missing weak link can be fixed and look forward to next year.

    Tell me again who are the impact playmakers in the secondary?
    CC Brown- average for a rookie
    Earls- potential if he stays healthy
    DRob- good player - potential to be a impact player
    Faggins- below average

    The secondary needs to be upgraded if at all possible at one cornerback, we need depth, we could use an impact safety and hope Earls and Brown develop.

    Plus we need an impact pass rusher from the edge.

    Plus we need run stoppers in the middle.

    Other than that I would say we have 2-12 talent in the secondary. There is a reason we have a poor defense and have lost 12 games.

    Don't have enough impact players.
