‘"I’m pleased about that because we did lose two guys out of the secondary that started for us," said Phillips, who saw Smith (Chicago) and Schulz (Detroit) leave via free agency. "But it looked like we’re right back where we were last year. It doesn’t look like we’ve missed a beat as far as pass coverage is concerned. There’s no pass rush on seven-on-seven drills, so the quarterbacks have time (to throw), and we’re covering them. Some of the guys are making outstanding plays. "I’m encouraged about our pass defense. It’s going to take a rush with it, but the coverage has a lot to do with how well you rush sometimes."’
