I think we feel pretty good about our safeties (Williams, Bates, and Fejedulum). You might even extend this to the secondary as a whole, and Lou Anarumo has had success in coaching up secondary players in his time in Miami and New York.
As for a reason to be optimistic, many of us are hopeful that last year was the exception and not the rule - these guys have never been that bad before, so a lot of us think they may bounce back to at least be more in the middle of the pack. Granted that's a lot of wishful thinking as they haven't exactly added a bunch of experienced veterans to help bolster the unit, but there seems to be some optimism about the rookies.
I don't think we've seen anywhere near enough to really have any idea what the new DC's approach will be, though early reports are that he's going DB-heavy on the field.
To me,I believe our D is going to be night and day better and IF THEY STAY HEALTHY, they could rank very high and I believe our D coach is going to get a lot of recognition around the league and we will lose him to a team that wants him to be their head coach.And he said he is open to being the head man in the future.I truly believe our D is going to be great if they stay healthy.You heard it first right here.
