The Dline has to be one of the top in the league, and like I pointed out, the backfield, which just 2 season ago was 7th, just got better. We have the rest of free agency and cut downs , plus the whole draft open to find LBers who can cover. I think we'll be closer to 1st this year than worst. Reader and Atkins are both game wreckers. Put them together.... good luck keeping the QB upright.
We are going to a 3-4 hybrid too so there will be an adjustment process for the guys used to playing in a 4-3. Even though I think
this might suit players like Hubbard and Lawson much more with this move. It is possible, we have lots of good to great players on
Defense and I really like Germaine Pratt. We will have to add Linebackers just to fill roster spots at some point.
Also with Burrow coming in and our run game getting much better towards the end of last season we might actually be able to keep
the Defense somewhat fresh.
