Lou has had an elite safety tandem and also one of the better slot corners in the league. The boundary guys have ranged from pretty good to scrap heap. Awuzie had a good year or two, but IMO declined last year. CTB was an excellent pick, but certainly not elite. Apple held things down for a long time despite his shortcomings.
IMO, at it's best, Lou's defenses are built to bend but not break. They give up lots of yards but hold scoring to a minimum. They are constructed to keep great teams from putting up 30 in January. IMO they did this with the expectation that the offense would be hanging 30 on the entire league week in and week out. They're never going to be like the other teams in the division, because ideally the offense is supposed to take some pressure off of them.
