This is the thinking on other fan sites. We see new improved D while
other non Patriot fans see a Defense in transition with a lots to prove.
Reasons goes something like:
Green replaces Seymour -- downgrade
Woods replaces Vrabel -- dowgrade
Guyton replaces Bruschi -- downgrade
Meriweather replaces Harrison -- downgrade
xxxxx replaces Samuel -- downgrade
some of those downgrades are short term until new player becomes seasoned Vet.
Of course they are thinking of these old Vets as in their Prime.
Plus - lots of new pieces that need to learn to play true team defense.
Therefore there will be a learning curve this year and they still may not
end up being as good as the old vets no longer here.
While there is some truth to the above I still think the starters have the
experience needed. I also think BB has changed what he wants to do on D
and these players best fit his new concepts. I think it will be a faster defense.
