I wouldn't go that far. I think Tank and Dorsey had potential to be a solid interior. And I thought Demorrio Williams and Derrick Johnson had potential to be solid on the outside, if only we had a real LBs coach. With our DEs, again, Hali is a serviceable LDE if you line him up opposite a real good pass rusher. And Turk McBride is actually a really good run-stopper--before he went down with injury, he racked up 50 tackles, which is solid for a DE. I think we were one real good MLB away and one real good DE away from having a solid 4-3 defense. Talent-wise, that is.
Again, as you've heard me say, I'm glad we're moving to a 3-4 because I think it's a better defense if built right. But I think the foundation was there for a fairly defense which was built mostly off of scraps.
