Just looking at the article at blackandgold.net I think the author overemphasized the influence of the linemen on stopping the pass. Can they help to stop it? Absolutely. Are they \"the key\"? I don\'t think so. They can be the key if you have a tremendous pass rush, but very few teams have that and the Saints won\'t have it next season. NFL quarterbacks are (or should be) used to let go of the ball in 3 seconds. If they let it fly it all depends on the DBs and the WRs. If you have inadequate CBs your defense will be picked apart.
I liked the Sullivan pick for several reasons, but not because CBs are utterly unimportant. The secondary should get more respect from this writer. They already have gotten the respect from the organization, just look at the contracts.
