Grant Cohn tells Browns Digest that he thinks the San Francisco 49ers secondary is under-rated because there is so much attention on the rest of the defense.

00:00 On the defensive side of the ball, I mean, you've obviously got stars, you know, in the front.
00:04 I guess it's a similar question to what you asked me, but I'm more directing you toward the
00:10 secondary. I feel like if San Francisco is going to win the Super Bowl, they need the secondary to
00:15 uphold their end of the bargain. So the question is, do you think long-term that they can?
00:18 I think it's an underrated secondary, like Traverius Ward. I don't think he's been to a
00:24 Pro Bowl, but he's a really, really good cornerback. And then opposite him, Diamandau Lenor
00:29 has been just as good, if not better, just say just as good as Traverius Ward this season. He
00:36 finished last season strong. He was great in the playoffs. So, I mean, you have two quality corners.
00:42 Safeties, I think, are quality too. Like Tashaun Gibson is, has he played for the Browns? He's
00:48 played for every team. But, oh yeah. So, I mean, he finds a way to intercept five passes a year,
00:54 doesn't give up big plays, solid as they come. And then Tolanoa Fungus, an all-pro.
00:59 I mean, you could, you should target the nickelback, Isaiah Oliver. But even him, I mean,
01:06 he's not a bad player. He's just not as good as the other one. I mean, they're giving up 13 points
01:11 per game. It's rough. It's hard to say what to do. Most teams are just throwing really quick passes
01:16 and dinking and dunking, and that's not getting it done because the Niner's offense is scoring a lot
01:20 of points. So, it's a tough one. It is. It's definitely a tough matchup.
