DBs are certainly important. We need to recruit talented DBs and safety's to have depth. There is the occasional WR who can switch to DB and make plays, but that is not the norm. The problem is when we focus recruiting on any one area and neglect it on another. That is what happened with Chump.
The DBU legacy goes back to guys like Joe Haden and Janoris Jenkins (for his freshman year), Major White and Ahmad Black. Don't tell me that DBs don't help you win championships. Did you see Ahmad Black's interception in the 08 title game? That was an amazing interception and key to us winning that game. You need to be a well rounded team and that means having players at all positions.
The DBs attitudes are not great and I think they were trying too hard to make big plays in the second half and got burned, but in reality... you need the whole D working together. Stopping the run, putting pressure on the QB and making it hard to find open receivers. It's a team game... no one unit is more important than any other.
