So if the defense is terrible again this season?

[Smidgeon]

Reasons why our defense will be improved...

-Clay hopefully won't be out 40% of the season.

-Added Peppers who paired with Clay make for one of the better pass rushing duos in the league which should help the secondary.

-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.

So...above average?
