[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 916714, member: 10086"] We do not need a #1 D to get ‘er done. imo, we need a slightly better, top #8 or better scoring D and little to no regression on the part of our O. (Call it top #4 scoring Offense) That said, I’m basing this off the return of nearly ALL of our D personnel. The 2 young iLB are more likely to improve than regress. Forgive me for being crass, but Kirksey’s production left something to be desired at best. Definitely not some “high bar” to match or surpass for De’Vondre. The guy (Kirksey) had a hard time just staying healthy. Our CB room is arguably deeper, taller and faster and more talented with Eric Stokes injected into the fold. While speed/height in and unto itself does not dictate winning at the position. CB raw speed can be a difference maker at crucial times (as unfortunately found in the NFC game). That play likely gets saved by Eric Stokes, it was like watching paint dry watching Kevin) Our OLB are = to 2020 Our DL looks identical but with better depth and more experience. 2-6th year starters, both a 4th AND 3rd year player (Lancaster/Kingsley) where you generally see a jump in production. Plus for once in years, one of the few legit, true NT (Slaton) from the 2021 draft. This group looks to hold its own and possibly improve slightly. Normally you’d see a new D install operating at a slight-moderate regression year 1 (from an average Defensive standing) However this group as a whole has the experience level to offset that step backwards. I would’ve stressed more concern at DT, but their overall experience level speaks to a very slightly to a zero regression status. If anything the continuity is a + For me individually, much will be determined by the ability of Barry to adapt and integrate his scheme to existing individual position strengths. But the D foundations tell me very slight regression at worst (#18 overall scoring) slight to moderate improvement at best (#7 overall) for year 1. [/QUOTE]
