We got killed on field position last year, having a solid punter will help but Gibbs will place more of an emphasis on special teams so our coverage units should be better too. Having a run based offense will help too because the defense will get more rest. We should have longer, more productive possessions and give the defense more rest and a lead to work with. And playing with a lead makes a HUGE difference.
Our defensive line is ok, I like Griffin and if we can add a pass rusher (Ogunleye?) then Griffin should be able to make some plays. Noble is a big strong guy, great motor and he does the dirty work that makes other players look good.
But the biggest help for our defense is Williams. I think Edwards was a little overwhelmed last year because the head coach didn't set much of a tone. I think Williams will find a way to get pressure on the qb and get some stops on third downs.
