Other than getting Reader back (they were a bad defense even with Reader) most of their additions were basically swaps with roughly equivalent talent players. (Lawson/Hendrickson, Jackson/Waynes, Alexander/Aquzie). Lou is certainly not a defensive mastermind at DC.
That's not a defense/DC that should be able to shut down Burrow/Chase/Higgins/Boyd/Mixon unless something is wrong with the offense.
Yeah, that is easy to say, but that does not take attitude and energy into account. At base level, most NFL level talent is in the same ball park, personality and attitude account for a lot, and can make a huge difference in overall spirit and temperament of a unit.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
