Mike DeVito is a slouch? Take him away and watch teams run all over the next guy up. Our corners are better than you think. Kendrick Lewis fucked them all year.

Our corners lack versatility. Brandon Flowers is a solid man corner, but is better suited to zone, and is apparently declining physically. Sean Smith is a man corner who never met a zone he liked. Marcus Cooper, Ron Parker and Phillip Gaines are all unproven potential.

SF - Stacked and more stacked in the secondary now. Cardinals - even without Washington, they are still a dominant defense because of two key players, Campbell and Peterson. Dockett isn't like what he was a few years ago, but he's still plenty good. Rams- Scariest pass rushing front 4 in the league with the addition of Donald. Saints- Not a lot of names but they're absolutely a better unit with Rob Ryan commanding them and the young combo of Cameron Jordan and Kenny Vaccaro anchoring the team. Cincy- Stacked, especially their front. Broncos- Miller dropped back down to his dominant weight, Ware is there now, Ward, Wolfe is back, Knighton still wrecking, And Talib has joined them. They're stacked. Bills - Williams, Dareus, Hughes, Alonso, Gilmore, etc. Browns - Should be a dominant unit, they're always good and have a better secondary than us. Texans- Still have the goods to be absolutely dominant. Watt should have it easier this year with Clowney now in the mix. Scary potential there alone on top of their other talent. If I had to guess, I would say we end up around 12-16 in total defense this coming season. |

Honestly I think if you compare them position by position I doubt you'd come to the same conclusion. They do have a great defensive coach, which KC does not have. Talent? I'd take KC in a heart-beat over the jets as they are right now purely on talent. |

The players you allude to are all probowlers/all pro players. How many of those do you think we need? I think 5-6 is a lot for one group. Not many teams are secure in that many positions. |

1. Our "talent" isn't as good as we think it is. 2. Our defensive coaching staff isn't up to scratch. Our secondary is very average with Berry realistically being the only player who would start on most other teams. We only have one starting caliber ILB, Derrick Johnson. We only have 1 legitimately dominant DL player, and that's Poe; DeVito is next to useless in this passing league and there are question marks at the other position. Hali is aging, Houston is only good for games against rookies or back-up level OTs, and Ford is a rookie. How are we "the most talented" defensive roster?

We may have the talent. But we have never put it together.

I'm sure if all 16 things in a row you listed in the OP went right, Alex would get a Flacco-type deal.
And if we win the Super Bowl, they can pay him all the money he wants. |
