Golden has ALOT to fix

If they get a year better and stay healthy, they could really help this defense improve, maybe not a ton, but enough to be serviceable against opposing QBs. And Al Goldin's scheme may help there as well. 

All you can really go off of is the facts: last year we were a bad defense, and we have (basically) the same players back again (barring something crazy) so I understand that doubt of their ability is totally legit because it's what they showed us on the field. 

And hoping that they can get better is just that: hope, but at least there is the potential for some improvement. 

I think we got better when the young guys player, but I don't think the young guys were that good. I think the guys we had been playing were very bad.

And, likely there will be more injuries this year.

What I'll say is say they draft a LB like Jihaad Campbell...he could make the entire from 7 better. Or say they pick the right safety. Or DE.

1 impact player goes a long way.
