One could argue that the two best defensive backs over the first half of the season have been cornerback Morris Claiborne and safety Barry Church. In fact, most would agree that Claiborne has been the best overall defensive back, while Church has been no worse than third best, behind only Byron Jones and of course Claiborne. The team only has four interceptions on the year, two of those are from Church and one from Claiborne, and Church is also second on the team in tackles behind who else, Sean Lee. So the fact that Claiborne and Church are both likely to miss the entire month of November and maybe some of December would normally be a huge cause for concern.
