The defense should be in a somewhat of a transition since so many of players are not around and more leave every year.
Anyone who thinks this defense will be a top 5 one in 2009 is grasping at straws and needs a reality check
If this defense is anything, it will be decent or not very good .. I would say it won't be great nor will it be horrible,I am guessing this early that it will be ranked about 14th-16th in the league as a whole when the season is over.
You really cant expect more or less until we see action in play
I do think the team will struggle to win in low scoring games and thats where top notch defenses help out - I think we can win most high scoring shootout games with Brady back.
I kind of agree with Deus who is not as high up or confident on this defense as some of you are - patience is the best medicine right now
And I ask why this edition won't be better than last season? Last season the team did not NOT allow "scoring in bunches". It was the Top Ten by Total Yards and Top Eight by Points Allowed.
With an even more potent Offense, and some good additions to the Defensive personnel, as well as more experience for Meriwhether, Mayo, Guyton, Wheately and Wihite, Woods and Crabel, I see no reason that they wont't be at least the same, as that injury riddled edition from last year.
