Agree the D can be very good.  I do believe people were a little too cavalier about our losses in the secondary but I’m coming around that our depth on DL and LB can help to make up for it. And, if the replacement DBs can be solid, the D can blossom.  Despite our depth at DL, I’m always a bit concerned about size. The 3-3-5 is a fun D, but clearly susceptible to the run, which is why I’ve been interested in the Bama DT. Not sure if he will contribute there or not. We’ll see. Having said that, I like our athleticism on DL and we’ll surely be disruptive. If we can identify a speed rush DE, that would also up the potential. In the end, yeah, the D should be good, which leads me to think about every D’s best friend…the O-line. If we can possess the ball to the point where our defensive depth doesn’t need to be constantly tested, it would change the dynamic on our ability to attack tremendously. I don’t think this version of our offense is built to grind it out, but an offensive line that can get those crucial yards and keep drives alive in key moments will actually take our D to another level.
