Just looking at our main guys on defense. That's alot of new faces.

By the time the season starts, we'll only have 1 LB from last year. 

They've really concentrated on guys who can stop the run and tackle...2 things that have plagued this defense for the past few years. It's so demoralizing to watch a defense get run all over, time after time, and not able to do anything about it. Even worse is watching plays / drives get extended because tackles are being missed all over the field. Just frustrating as hell to watch.

If all these additions can shore up the tackling issues and can contain the run much more successfully, then Lou will have a lot more options in terms of blitzing and coverages. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this revamped defense takes shape this year.
