the defensive line.
We have two new corners (assuming Barnwell is out for year) and green there. Stepehson can be a major mistake eraser (think Ron girault) and sure tackler in the FS spot. Going to be green at SS with Hyster and Jacobs (but an upgrade)
So the secondary is with athletes but inexperienced.
Got to protect the big play and protect that secondary...
If the defense can stop the run with the front seven...without having to bring up the safety to jam the line (and leave the corners on an island in man-one)...allowing to play twin safties back...and if the defensive line can get pressure rushing four (leaving to cover 5 with 7 players)....I really think the defense can protect the secondary from big plays and he defense really improves
That all starts up front...and turay and Hamilton with the very solid Mera will be good on the dline. Need to find that coveted NT spot for the run downs and play fast on pass downs with JPO and Hamilton in the middle.
I think the LB core doe its job this year and is vastly improved. Just got to stay healthy until the young kids grow up and become more ready to provide meaningful depth.
Think major defensive improvement is there if the Dline improves for the above reasons..and there is real reason for hope
