True. But when I think how the defense saved games in the first 4 victories last year (at least I think it was the first 4) they looked decent and aggressive but you could still see weakness and lack of discipline and missed tackles. Then when the injuries started piling up, shit went downhill fast. We have been weak up the gut for several years now. Hopefully, with better discipline and guidance, this will change. 

I think another key factor is Marvin really hasnt put his heart in it the last few years. Players see that and it transitions over to them. Seems the guys are buying into the new system and their excited about it. That alone is a big step from previous few years.
