-Hayward will be back adding the play making ability we were so lacking last season.

-Tramon's shoulder seems to be fully healthy and looks back to his old form.

-New starter at safety, whether it be a rookie or Hyde it will be an improvement.

-B.J. Raji moves back to NT where he put up Pro Bowl numbers.

-Daniels, Neal, and Jones also provide good pass rush from the D-line.

-New rookie starter at ILB?



If we don't get hit by the injury bug again we should have a top 15 defense easily IMO.
IMO,many of the things you listed are actually a reason to be skeptical.
-clay will be hurt AGAIN, he's just not durable.
-Peppers may be a great signing, but I'm doubtful.
-Hayward and Tramon I think will actually have good seasons.
-safety, well I have zero confidence there although it couldn't get worse.
-raji, most worthless bag of shit on the team. Moving him shouldn't determine effort, I have no love for players with no heart.
-ILB, I have zero faith in any coaching staff that believes Brad Jones has talent.
