The defense had 3 bad games last year: Raiders, Cowboys and Jets. (Don’t care about DeShaun Watson scoring 14 garbage points when the game was clearly over).

This team had Zombo, Gaines, Acker, Sorenson, Parker and the corpse of DJ and Tamba and they were still 15th in points allowed.

The middle of the field is going to be so much better this year with Hitchens, DOD and Ragland with a year under his belt. That’s not even with Berry returning, whose leadership alone is a massive boost.

We also aren’t completely ****ed if an OLB gets hurt bc we won’t be relying on Zombo as the next man up. Houston, Ford in a contract year, Speaks and Tanoh year 2 is way better than what he had on the depth chart last season.

I think this defense will surprise people. No they won’t be a top unit, but they’ll be better than they were pegged to be.
