So Reeves is here this season as insurance, if Molden does not progress and/or Dunta does not make it back, only then will Reeves be here next season.

Seriously, I wasn't trying to bring anyone down. Dunta's injury is a bad one which causes speed to evaporate. Granted there have been major advances in the medical field so anything's possible. Dunta has heart in my book, it just may take another season of work to get back his speed. But honestly, 4.3 speed is gonna be a memory. 4.40 or 4.45 is more realistic. But that ain't bad considering his ability to jam at the line and run support. Just watch how well his fantastic technique gets even better. Remember Rod Woodson after his injury? Slower but more dangerous.
But on the bright side, our front office has done some positive actions on its own in the drafts. Bennett and Moulden are young and will get tested but if they live up to their tangibles and learn the technicals of the position, we could all be satisfied. I know I for one love the competition at CB.
Reeves will do alright but he has proven one thing...you need a safety behind him. As painekiller brought out, he's insurance, not the answer.
