Their defense, yeah I think so. Their defensive line is one of the most vicious in the league, and their outside LBs are as well, but they're working with a downgraded pair of interior LBs IMO and their secondary is full of pretty decent guys.

I don't think they're a top five defense anymore with the downgrade they suffered at LB, but Merriman, Phillips, and that dangerous DL make them a sure-fire top 10, at least.

Just the fact that they have real players on their D makes them not a mirror image of the Chiefs of 2003.....

Talent wise the Chargers are a top 3 team.....they probably deserve to be ranked top 5 going into the season.
