This defense has never had the potential talent to be top 10 at any point since 2008, and that's why I say middle of the pack is best case scenario for this group.
It'd be different if Carr was here and we had a game changer on the DL. We don't.

It's silly to think that you view Carr as a difference maker, but ignore the fact that Poe and full-season Houston are enormous upgrades over what we had in 2011. Again, we have one of the best pass rushing tandems of OLBs of 3-4 defenses in the NFL. I still don't know why that matters a lot less to you than the D-line which, in Ryan's 3-4, is a lot more about versatility and holding your position (which our linemen can do) than about being some terror in the backfield.
