Yeah, to me, that was the real mystery of what was an awful defense the past two years. It seems we have good personal upfront, so why couldn't they stop anybody on the ground?
The common perception was, our LBs were at fault. Okay, I hope that was the case, and I would add to that the incredible depth of inept coaching (I never liked the Wanny hiring from the beginning, and time proved me correct). Here's hoping the poor strategy (if we even had one), and weak LB group, is now fixed, or at least on the way to being fixed.
So back to my point, I believe the line has the talent to be good, but they need the help of a better scheme, and some decent LB play. In the end, I think the defense--especially our D Line--will be the strength of this team this coming season.
