Talk to me about this defense

[grampahol]

I have no idea how Lou will pan out, but it'll be tough for him to be as bad as Austin was. Austin was a train wreck even before the engines got turned over and it carried through most of the season until Marvin finally began to get them up to snuff..still too late to make any difference.
Lou, on the other hand has at least some credibility with the back end and for the time being seems to have the defense motivated. 
Many fans like to look backwards to predict the future and occasionally that works, but with an almost entirely new coaching staff i just don't see looking backwards as a particularly good indicator of the future. 
It's kind of like saying, "I drove an old broken down Ford for 20 years that could barely run, but now have a brand new car so of course it too won't run because the old Ford didn't."
