I'm not surprised by this in the least. Brown has to come back and
prove he's able to play at a high level again. This is really a good
problem for the Bears to have right now.

Correct me if I am wrong, but in the cover-2 you don't need
particularly fast safeties (?) As long as no one blows their
assignment then there's no requirement for extra speed to close gaps.
Obviously speed is a nice thing to have (D. Manning) but having guys
stay in their lanes should maintain containment. Yes?
