I also probably agree the entire defense should be better. But I have little reason to believe the run defense will be. However, that has nothing to do with what my point is. 

If the other major argument is our health on defense, yes, that's a terrible argument because we were a very healthy defense last year and in we will very likely be more banged up next year. So, if the odds are that we will be MORE HURT next year, why would improved health be a valid argument? 

You don't feel that having an improvement at the Safety position will have an impact on how well the rushing defense performs? If was revealed that the LBs played tentatively last season, due to having inexperience calling the secondary last season. Having an experienced Safety in Bell calling the secondary will allow Wilson and Pratt to focus on what is in front of them, rather than being unsure of what is going on behind them.
