[QUOTE="kuston, post: 8643, member: 223"] Personally, I expect this defense to end up in the top 10. Here's why: Jackson, Lee, Peterson, Williams & Edwards are all 2 gap DTs. Last year they were all asked to play in a 1 gap system. KGB is a specialist and very good at it, this year that is all they will ask him to do, on every down. Barrnet just isn't big enough to play in a 1 gap system. He'll dominate in Bate's system. Thompson is really good, wait until you see him play. The DB? Who can name the safeties the Dolphins played with for the last 3 years? I think one of them was named Edwards and he couldn't cut it in GB. Whoever we line up there is going to be better. The CBs? I'm going to bank on Bates picking the right ones for his D, if I remember right, Bates was the guy to let Troy Vincent go. Just to summarize how screwed up last year's D was, they had an all-american NT from College playing rush end; Corey Williams. Bates will figure out what each player can do and put them in the right position to do it. I also think the defense can get better by playing with a lead. How many games last year did the Packer's jump out in the front in the 1st quarter and give the D a nice lead? Dallas was the only one I can think of. Why do I think the offense will be better this year? The skill positions will be better, Green & Davenport are in their contract year. I expect Ferggy and Walker to step it up a notch. Chapman and Murphy add quality depth to the WR which we didn't have last year. I expect the supporting cast to Favre/Driver to be better, which will help the D. I expect the recipe to success is Bate's new sytem, better leadership, an offense that scores early to help the D out will get a top 10 D. [/QUOTE]
