From a roster stand point
1.) Burrow > Dalton
2.) Green, Boyd, Ross, Higgens, Tate > Green, Caldwell, Simpson, Gresham
3.) Atkins, Dunlap, Hubbard, Lawson, Reader, Daniels= Atkins, Dunlap, Geathers, Johnson, Fanane, Rucker
4.) Jackson, Alexander, Phillips, Bell, Bates> Hall, Clements, Jennings, Crocker, Nelson
5.) Mixon, Bernard > Benson(rip), Scott
The only two positions were 2011 were better are LB and Online but neither of those groups were overly impressive.
From a coaching staff I would give 11 the advantage but I don't think this staff is bad at all. In fact they impressed me at the end of last season. The Defense and running game improved over the last 7 games.
I would have to disagree on #4. Hall was a better corner than anyone on this roster currently and Clements played better here than some might remember. Nelson was also a better safety than anyone on the roster currently. That defense finished 7th in yards and 9th in points against and it wasn't all due to Zimmer.
This years defense does have some talent but also a very, very serious question mark at DC. I am not a believer in Anarumo yet, but I hope he makes me one.
