It makes sense in the long term, but could send us backtracking this season.

Maybe they are taking a long term approach to rebuilding the defense, but it seems like the best way to win in 2012 and 2013 would be to support the gains they are getting on offense with a defense that is improved at all levels. And the results are more along the lines of trying to hold the status quo in the front seven while letting the secondary get obliterated.
