Anarumo was the reason Ballard went bananas on the secondary this year. It's what drives his defense.
Bynum, Ward, Walley, Howard, Blackmon (maybe) and Gardner were all atypical acquisitions. Anarumo wants a different type than Eberflus or Bradley did, and he needs the secondary to be the focus.
Our safeties stayed solid all year, but our CBs never got started, let alone got in a rythym and gelled throughout the season. Hopefully he returns and the injury bug doesn't force us into our 6th, 7th, and 8th option at CB vs some of the stronger teams in the league.
