I don't think you can point to these additions as rebuilding our defense. Plugging holes (cheaply I might add) or applying band-aids seems like a more approriate description.

Howard and Lawson did very well.  They were able to step right in and perform, didn't need and training or developmental time.  The fact that they didn't cost much was a bonus.
