The hyphen in "well-rested", which is the one I thought you had a problem with, makes it easier to read because it ties the two words together for the reader as a description of the noun "defense". IMO, it saves the reader a little effort by preventing him from having to sort that connection out. Apparently the grammar police at grammarbook.com agree with me, fwiw.
