The Texada experiment reveals a front-office gamble that could fracture the secondary.

Ridge Texada, in just his 2nd career start, was repeatedly targeted and "picked on" while veteran Evan Holm led the game with 3 knockdowns. This points to a front-office failure to secure veteran corner depth, forcing a raw rookie into a starting role. If Texada gets burned in a playoff game, the internal blame game between the front office and defensive veterans will explode.
