My only question mark was the other winger. I considered Bedoya, Davis, even Mix and Aron for their attacking prowess - but those last 2 might be better served off the bench. If Jurgen is set on playing JJ, a warrior who can cover ground (while also play soccer) needs to play next to him. This also allows Michael Bradley to get forward. When MB gets forward, good things happen. I think this back 4 is the safest back 4, and should get a lot of minutes. If we had another competent CB, Cameron could bump out wide. I just don't trust any other on the back line.
