He has built this defense to run his system. Fast Linebackers, a fast secondary with attitude and guys who love contact and aren't afraid to tackle (looking at you WJIII), and he has a D line that so far is not 6th and 7th string. I put Lou squarely with Taylor this year, they have had two years to build their team, so it's time to show up.
I'm VERY encouraged by the improvement of the D. Love the way they have put this together, and agree not only about WJIII but J. Kirkpatrick as far as consistent tackling failures. If the D line gets healthy and stays healthy, this could be a very good defense.
And I'm not all that concerned about the offense. They did too much good last year with a marginal at best O-line and Chase. Also love the dude from San Fran and Pooka. Can't wait to see how it all shakes out, but I'm thinking the improvement on both sides of the ball is going to be dramatic.
