Yeah, that's what I thought. This link suggests the same. CBS Sportsline's team capsules have their base defensive alignments:

Leroy Hill and Dunta Robinson both just got franchised, apparently Nnamdi Asomugha is close to a 2-3 year deal with Oakland, and Jordan Gross is wrapping up a new 6 year deal with Carolina. All of this per PFT and ESPN.

I know this is off-topic but i really dont know why they fired their d-coordinator. the defense played exceptionally well late in the season and they really don't have a very talented defense overall. I cant think of a single defensive player who would be considered in the top 5 at their position and only a couple who could be considered top 15.

Well, I would say Darnell Dockett, Adrian Wilson, and Karlos Dansby are all top 10 at their positions for sure. And Rogers-Cromartie is definitely a star on the rise. I heard Wisenhunt didn't really get along too well with Clancy Pendergrast (sp?).

Dockett had one strong year and thats it. hes certainly better than all our our tackles, but thats not saying much. Adrian Wilson is definitely top 10... dansby maybe, but there are alot of OLBs in the league... its kind of hard for me to rank them in my mind. I guess Wisenhut has the right to pick who he wants on his staff, but unless they get the LB coach from Pittsburg, i dont expect their defense to be nearly as good in 09.
