With us finally moving on from Peko, finally adding a LB that can stop the run and cover in Minter and our new
coaches finally setting in this Defense could be top tier. We have been top tier before with Peko and without a LB
like Minter. They were better than average last year, atleast the 2nd half of the season.

Agreed. The defense started off rough and finished solid. 

8th in points allowed
17th in total yardage

They were great against the pass:

Held opponents to an 83.1 passer rating (5th best in NFL)
11th in pass yards allowed
11th in pass TDs allowed
4th most INTs

But struggled against the run:

21st in rush yards allowed
23rd in yards per attempt allowed
13th in rush TDs allowed

I think with a good addition in the draft, and new guys like Billings, WJ3 and Minter...the defense can easily get back to being a top 8 unit.
