Steve Wilkes was the DB coach and had been there for a while. He had a good college and pro background and moved into the role nicely IMO. Perception is he is a bit more aggressive in terms of blitzes and maybe leans a bit more to man rather than zone coverage. I'm a homer so take it for what it's worth but he inherited a full cupboard. You know the name Kuechly but Thomas Davis and Shaq Thompson are both top tier LBs. the interior DL is stacked. DE is good and Julius Peppers still looks like he is a youngster. I think the weakness is in secondary and can be exploited. Bradberry is going to be a household name but Worley is not there yet.
Again, Panther homer but these guys are good. Homer says top 3 defense. Non homer still will rank the top 10 I think.
