In the last 5 games of the year the Defense was on pace per 16 games to have the 5th best 3rd down Defense, 2nd best in allowing first downs, and 11th in scoring.
That's without a Carl Lawson on the edge, a healthy Nick Vigil at LB, and a new toy in Germaine Pratt.
I hope lou saw what Marvin did at the end of last year and copies a lot of it.

Good point about the last five games, however, they can’t rely on that stat and not make more changes as I don’t believe teams had to work very hard to beat them. The offense was gone without Dalton. I agree with your optimism in regards to Lawson, Vigil, and Pratt. I will add that the new weapons on offense and a better (it was already pretty good when they weren’t behind of when teams didn’t respect the passing game) rushing attack will also help the defense.

Hoping the new D coordinator gets more out of guys like Willis, Billings, and Williams as I see them as critical pieces that underperformed.
