I mean, if Houston and Ford (with a sprinkle of Hali/KPass) are bringing heat off the edge week in and week out, that's going to be hard for defenses to handle. Not to mention we are stacked on the interior with quality and depth. The ILB situation appears to be vastly improved, although I am not counting on Ragland this season for much.

And honestly, our corners were great Thursday night. Peters is Peters. Gaines' was as good as he has been since before his injury. And even despite T-Mitch's penalties, the guy was being asked to cover Brandin Cooks (a vertical speedster) one-on-one while Mitchell does not primarily rely on long speed. I thought he competed like crazy, made a few spectacular plays, and will only continue to improve. Nelson coming back later won't hurt either.

If we can get just a little bit of a luck in terms of health, the defense could feast like never before in the Reid era, considering what they did against New England on the road.

It'll be good but not great. We need Berry to be great but yeah this D can be very good. Top 5.
