I think that's sure fire talent on defense, and I didn't even mention Haynesworth!

Right but you also included people who weren't on the team last year, and in one case, haven't been on the team in the last five years.
Rogers and Fletcher are established talent on defense, but not in the same way that the superstars of Portis, Cooley, Moss, and Samuels are respected by other teams. Then you have the young 25 year old potential of Hall, Blades, Landry, Montgomery, and Horton, who are a big part of our defense, but
only if their best days are in fact in front of them.
The only point was that the established talent, the easily recognizable names, are on the offensive end for us, while the defense is very talented, but because it has fewer holes, more young talent, and less big names.
