Are we better on Defense?
 

Have we gotten better on defense this off-season?

Re: Are we better on Defense?
 

with the addition and players coming off IR we have to be better

Slightly.

Did we get worse by keeping Sean Payton?

Still need a starting DE and CB 1/2. Ellerbe injuries a concern. So is depth in secondary.

Hoping the draft or pending FA moves shore is up enough to be a top 15 defense.

The short answer is no.
We kept Fairley and his 43 tackles and basically traded Edebali for Okafor.
One would think that at least two guys coming off of IR will regain starting roles.
The question mark is Klein. If he is the leader we've been looking for since Vilma, then yes we are better.

Unfortunately, it would almost be mathematically impossible to be worse. We can't just be "better"; we need to be one helluva lot better, as in 40 yard and 3or4 points-against better

Everyone has forgotten something important....There's no more Joe Vitt and no more Bill Johnson. So yes, by all accounts and before we even acquired anyone this off season, we're better.

****, we're probably better even with the same guys starting and the same guys injured.

Hell yes we're better.

Dennis Allen started making progress towards the end of last season. If we can stay healthy and maybe add a couple of pieces in the draft, I think we can be significantly better :bng:
