Yes you are right, also keep in mind that last year was the first for a (defensive minded) coaching staff to really get to know all of its players strengths/weaknesses in THEIR system with THEIR coaching. Expect to see a giant leap and most of our star talent is young, expect MAJOR growth there...also, you can only play who your schedule allows...last year, there were games where our defense carried us single handly with an anemic offense

Also, as Ron Is building a power house defense, he’s also building a really good online, so we can play ball control football...using our speed pre-snap to run motions to help out running game too...as it makes the defense freeze for a second to make sure the WR doesn’t get the handoff as they run by

Back-to-back DROY? Completely possible!

I wonder if that has ever happened before

Keim said they are trying Apke at CB today in ota…

How you think that will work out?

Like burnt toast.

Lol.. I guess they are trying to figure out a way to keep Apke, he sucks as a defender but he is a good special teamer.

And this is how it starts.

Now everybody gonna be watching St-Juste in the preseason and shitting on him when he inevitably has growing pains.

Also Kam Curl being benched - man I respect Collins as a leader and I'm sure he earned that C on his patch - but also feel they should've moved on from him this offseason.

Watched the replay of the Steelers first loss the other night and was reminded how good Moreland was in that game. His ball instincts, quick reaction, and happy-to-hit are there. I hope he sticks in his slot role — not bad for a 7th rounder.

I'd be interested to see if Moreland can step up or if he's always going to be a #4 CB (not a bad thing as such). He showed promise in his 1st season but seems to have plateaued.

IDK why. Makes no sense to keep him on the team at this point. He couldn't run before he got hurt.

We got a lot of breaks go our way last year. Just look at the last game of the year. Brady had his way throwing for almost 400 and they ran for like 140. We got a solid group no doubt but I feel we really missed Matt I. With him coming back and with the addition of Davis, I feel we can take that much needed next step.

Sorry, but at the end of the year Tampa was doing that to everyone. We didn’t have any more breaks than any other team.

We beat one winning team, man.
We got absolutely destroyed by good passing teams, whatever the string of QB. Guys running free in second and third level all the time.
Our D is good. I think it will be better, experience, 2nd year same system, guys like Young Sweat continuing to gel improve, Del Rio freer to dial it up, plus additions at CB and LB and depth at DE. Also, having an O hold its own will be HUGE, our O, a then D can be much more aggressive. That being said, we play some really good teams this year. The winning teams we'll need to beat will be better this year.
I don't think it is absurd to view this D as potential top-5 in NFL, but potential must of course be realized.
Can you imagine if our O actually scored in the 1st quarter consistently? This D could be a monster. Even if it regresses a bit, it is till a solid top-half of NFL D for sure.
