I see it as friendly competition, and Gun ingraining the importance of takeaways. I think you're right about the offense carrying the defense, but it's a new year, and THIS offense hasn't done ANYTHING, which also means THIS defense hasn't done anything either... good or bad. It's camp, and IMO competition between the sides doesn't mean they're "taking sides against each other." It means they're learning to get better from each other's play. If the defense is good, the offense should get better. With the offense we have, the defense has a better opportunity to get better.

So take my "dumb thing to say" and stick it up your ass. It's just how I see it, you're welcome to view it how you like.
