I acknowledge that our defense played well in the postseason, but it is just impossible for me to ignore 17 games and just judge them based on a 4 game run. I still remember how our bad defense in '06 played out of their heads for a 4-5 game stretch in the middle of the season to get us back in the playoff race.
I believe our defense will improve in '22, but not as dramatically as the offense. Our defense finished in the bottom half of the league during the regular season and lost one of its best players in Ogunjobi. I believe that all 3 of our top picks will have an impact on our defense this year, and an offense without so many 3-and-outs will also help a lot. But overall I see them improving to around #10. PLENTY GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN ANY GAME WITH THE OFFENSE WE SHOULD HAVE.
