If you're going to play the "if" game, you have to consider everything.
You're completely overrating the "young inexperienced secondary" thing. No rookies will likely even be starting, and besides this is a team that's had rookie/young corners play well in the past (Peters, Gaines, Cooper). Not to mention our secondary coaching is phenomenal.

They're going to be starting a nickel corner who's taken 20 snaps total in his career, a 3rd year corner who's missed 50 percent of his career, and a sophomore corner in peters.
That's not counting the rookies and that's not much experience.
I'd say it's pretty much a given that Hali Co to use to decline. Age stops for no one. Maybe he pushes back a year, but the defense has alot of question marks however we want to spin it.
