Well, the D was ravaged by injuries last year (Reader, Waynes, Geno, Wren, Tupou sat out, Hubbard missed a lot). Plus losing Dunlap mid year. Especially the D line. The combination of getting some of those guys back (Reader & Tupou & Hubbard healthy). Getting replacements for Dunlap & Geno (Hendrickson & Ogunjobi). Stealing BJ Hill for Price. Sample has been a stable rotation guy. Heck it should be better is Ossai & Kareem were playing.
But that front has been stout vs the run and consistently getting pressure with 4 (or even 3). Wilson & Pratt & ADG (& Evans pre-injury) all look tons better behind a healthy Reader/Ogunjobi/Tupou/Hill interior. Bell & Bates are rock solid at safety, ditto Hilton in the slot. Apple has been real good after a rocky start and Awuzie an absolute hime run. A healthy Waynes would presumably boost the unit.
