[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 449075, member: 1198"] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] I don't think we're really that far apart. I would probably put the defense in that 21-25th range if I were to subjectively rank all teams per my own opinion. But I don't believe it's the result of major personnel issues. Most of these guys were on a top 10 defense just one year prior. There are some very specific things that needed addressed in order to get back toward the top. 1) Fix the pass rush. Check. We have so many new pass rushers that at least 1 or 2 of them will make an impact. 2) Get Tramon 100% healthy. Check. 3) Find effective replacement for Collins. Remains to be seen. We have some good candidates though. 4) Get Shields back to form after sophomore slump. Remains to be seen, but no reason to believe he can't do that. He did show flashes of his rookie self last year. He just didn't have the consistency for whatever reason. Even if only #1 on the list gets fixed, it will have a major effect across the board. A good defense with a broken pass rush is like a good engine with a busted water pump. They'll both break down on you, but in neither case is it necessary to rebuild the whole thing. I don't want to give the impression that I was happy with our defense last year. I wasn't. At times they frustrated the hell out of me. But it was easy to see where the problems were and they are indeed fixable. That's why I'm not really in a panic about it. [/QUOTE]
