I think it should be mentioned that over the last couple of seasons ND has fielded a rather respectable secondary. Sure it wasn't to Alabama's standards. But Blanton, Walls, Gray, H. Smith, etc were not terrible. It would've been difficult for any new comer to unseat them. With that said, Brown, Atkinson, Jackson, and Wood have not played a significant amount (if any) reps at this position. For me personally, I plan to keep positive that while these newbies will have some growing pains, they may not be as bad as some seem to think. I'm glad Cooks is talking up Jackson. At the very least it will give him confidence. Floyd's spoke highly of Brown last year as well. Moral of the story...I think ND will be alright (barring injury *knock on wood*).
