Well there's a difference between normal talent and the type of talent I listed. That 2002 Redskins team had:
Bruce Smith - Hall of Famer
Champ Bailey - Future Hall of Famer and 12 time Pro Bowler
Darrell Green - Hall of Famer
Jesse Armstead - 5x Pro Bowler
Jeremiah Trotter - 4x Pro Bowler
LaVar Arrington - 3x Pro Bowler
On top of solid guys like Fred Smoot, Daryl Gardener, Sam Shade, etc. Normal top 5 defenses usually have some solid players. Not 3 Hall of Famers and 3 more multi-time Pro Bowlers. Hence why I said embarrassment of talent.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
