Good lord I hope so, I'm very worried about the Saints next week.  They have the ability to expose our CBs like Atlanta did, and our offense still isn't rolling yet.

Cason COULD be the "achilles heel" but, in all honesty, our front 7 stepped it up today and forced many of those turnovers. It's our offense that struggled all day to run the ball and march down the field. While I want a CB, I want a $ OL even more.

I think a 60/40 split in favor of Mathews will work and help this team immensely, with Battle getting most of the goal line stuff.

Who's gonna trade a starting CB in the days of the pass happy NFL?

No contending teams will.
