I am glad Brandon Howard got some playing time this year, because I would really hate to play 4 DBs without any experience to start the year. I'm even concerned breaking in two new DBs (assuming Kellen Fowler starts next year, along with Howard).

I am also not a fan of Tafuna. I think he is slightly above average against the run, and very poor in defending the pass. I think he is also a step too slow. I'd honestly feel more comfortable with a Freshman playing above him... unless he has improved greatly over the last 2 years.

Experience is definetly the issue.

I'm also not a big fan of Tafuna either. The guy is a hard hitter, but in terms of pass coverage and being assignment sound he was below average.

If Jordan Pendleton can keep the speed with the weight he's gained he could end up being scary good.
