One season of improvement isn't enough for me to say there's an indication we're definitely on the rise. We don't know that the holes on D have been filled. Those kids haven't even stepped on the field yet, let alone proven they can fill any holes.
I'm excited about the D potential too. But let's be a little realistic. It's going to be a tough schedule this year. And everyone still seems drunk on draft juice. Making future predictions fresh off the excitement for the draft generally doesn't turn out well...

It's also a different story when the guys these people are replacing are beyond terrible. We are a much better defense if Houston is only good enough to keep a QB in the pocket so he can't run away from Hali. We are a much better defense if Powe actually takes out ANY blocker at the Nose. And I can't imagine Jalil Brown can be worse than any player we feature in our Dime packages.
I agree, dominant? No. But we could probably predict that this defense is going to be better with the potential to be significantly better (if even just one of those guys plays well).
