This is me entire point I make over and over on numerous threads. We have not done enough to become a superbowl team, and thus it’s a wasted season if that turns out to be the case.
The defense should be much better this year. Last year the D line was in bad shape. Jenkins and Jackson were rookies and both started the season injured. Rankins had his medical issues and was a bust. We now have a healthy Jenkins and Jackson and both are now vets with some valuable experience. We also have added a great run stopper in Slaton. If you get help upfront with your D line, it helps the rest of the defense.
In the secondary last year we had some injuries. We are now healthy with some younger guys that had to fill in getting valuable playing time and experience.
Logan Wilson is healthy. We signed Oren Burks, drafted Knight and drafted Stewart who is very good against the run. I think you will see a good improvement to the defense this year. If we could add Christian Wilkins to the defense that would be a big boost if he is healthy.
