[CBFF] Archuleta's arrival impacts Brown

[Phil DeNomme]

I'm not really sure Brown will even be able to play at all.  the Lisfranc
injury he had is extremely hard to come back from.  If anything, he'll miss
part of the season to start so this will all be moot, IMO.

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?
