I guess the first thing I thought when reading the article was that I didnt realize we were that good statistically in 2014.  We've been consistently solid on defense since Shafer got here.  Our offense and overall record was so bad that you forget we were one of the better 25 teams in the country on defense.  I didnt say what we will do in 2015. We dont know.  I cant predict the future. lol. What I am saying is its okay to be a (little) bit more optmistic about the defense.  We do have a system that weve been running since 2009. New DC but same philosophies and principles.  Good programs lose players every year,  put in younger guys and end up having a better statistical year than before because they have a system.  Unlike offense, we do have a identity on defense.  We are an attack, gap pressure team that run to the ball and create havoc.  The kids know it  and believe in it.  That alone helps offset some experience that we lost.  Just trying to give people a positive outlook. We cant always be negative.
