*players in bold have had development delayed or derailed by injury
If the defense is terrible this year it will because, with one notable exception, TT's first round draft picks on defense don't develop they way they are expected to. Player development might be part of the problem but the most obvious common denominator are the injuries that have plagued this team.
If you ignore the last 3 years (we're just starting to really evaluate Perry now) that's 4:3, not a bad record, really.
