But we did lose two great pass rushers, our best corner, a pro bow safety (even though he didn't play much).

A Pro Bowl safety!? We're talking about a year-on-year comparison. Berry played in a grand total of 3 games last year and was limited in 2 of them. We lost a Pro Bowl safety in 2017. And if that's the argument, Matthieu was an All Pro in 2015 so we've replaced like with like.
In all seriousness, tackling. We need to tackle better. Our pass rush was outstanding last year and highly underappreciated on CP in my view. I worry about it too but I think we have a better all-around defensive unit. Dee Ford was a monster coming around the edge a la DT but Clark will be much more well-rounded and that's what this team needs.
I'm excited to see something new and don't blame the Chiefs for a second if it fails. They revamped the defense (and weren't meek in doing so) and that's we could realistically ask for after several years of becoming Suttoned.
