With our younger Safety duo getting a chance to mature and settle in, I feel like this will be a big bounce back year for the defense. Communication will be much improved across the board, Battle will begin the year knowing full and well that he's the man, Dax Hill should be able to free range a lot better with CTB and whomever starts opposite of him. Having the secondary settled will allow the LBs to just do their jobs, rather than be anxious about who's doing what behind them.Communication was an issue no doubt but acting like that was the only issue last season is silly and that the defense will do 180 based solely off better communication is silly. We need to improve in a lot of areas of the defense from pass rush, run defense, and pass coverage. Every unit on defense needs to be properly scrutinized!
