I agree with this. There is a lot of parity in the NFL and when you lose a couple of guys from one specific area (secondary) it is very difficult to overcome. The Giants schemed to cover it for a while but now that is has been exposed other teams are taking full advantage. Good safeties allow the D coordinator to do a lot of things and losing Phillips really hurts. Watch tonight's game....Denver has 2 good corners but the nickel backs have been so bad that they had to sign Ty Law. Baltimore exposed them in the slot last week and the Steelers will go no huddle a lot to exploit that match-up.
