A look at the roster (DB/special teams)
DB: Going into the year, this group was viewed as maybe one of the better units in the league...did not materialize. Davis is a shut down-pro bowl caliber player,on paper, but that doesn't always seem to show up, each week, Toler is an above average CB, who missed alot of games, I really like Butler and Vaughn and Gordy add quality depth. Bethea had another very good season, Landry was supposed to be a difference maker, but I didn't see much of that, other than a few games, he really wasn't much of a factor, Brown is one of the better coverage players in the league and Howell, looked good, before getting hurt
* Cornerback will always be a need area, despite how many good or great players you have, I think the group we have is very good, it would be great to see the 2012-pro bowl caliber Landry show up, there is no depth at safety. Davis, Vaughn,Brown,Bethea and Gordy are free agents, Davis will be a priority, Bethea should be, but he is in his 30's? DB's are hard to come by, the rest will be brought back at the right price, depth at safety is a need area
ST: Adam had another great year, but like Bethea, at some point, his age and contract will make them expendable, probably not this time around, McAfee is still one of the better punters, but hasn't raised his level into the Pro bowl level, everyone expected. Overton made the Pro bowl. The coverage units were good, the return game, much like the O-line has been an ongoing and unsolved problem area, Adam and McAfee are both free agents
* I expect both kickers to be back
