[QUOTE="gwh11, post: 433814, member: 4910"] I think the defense suffered a dropoff in '97 mostly due to a talent dropoff. By no means a bad defense (ranked in the top ten for points allowed and yards, for what that's worth), some personnel changes weakened them a bit, and this revealed itself especially in the run defense. Wayne Simmons had a great '96, but went to KC part of the way through '97. Seth Joyner wasn't the Seth Joyner of old, and couldn't make up for that loss, and the Tyrone Williams of '97 wasn't as good as the Craig Newsome of '96 (who missed pretty much all of '97 w/an injury). On paper (and statistically) Gabe Wilkins looked like a good substitution for the retired Sean Jones, but in reality I'm not sure that was the case. [/QUOTE]
