That is some wishful thinking seeing as there will be 1, maybe 2 new starters on D. In all likelyhood we will have a bottom feeder defense. HOWEVER, seeing as they spent so much money on the offensive side of the ball, it's obvious that they are trying to minimize the amount of time that this horrible D is on the field.

AMEN BROTHER..........

The tipped scale theory is one the , " The Defense has got to get better group " is obviously missing .

When the starting corner is a disgruntled reject from a play off team , there are some issues there .

With Peyton Manning under the Saints center and leading the offense , this would be the highest scoring offense in the History of the N.F.L. , with Brooks under center it's a reason the defense needs to be in the top 10 .

I feel ya spkb25...I agree everything do starts up
front on both sides of the ball.

I alway did felt we can win with AB and with what
we have on Offense.
I feel Venturi and his way of playing Defense
is the main reason why we are not winning now.

What i will do is offer my prognosis on this upcoming season....I think our D will make a marginal improvement.....all other things remaining constant....meaning if the O plays the exact way they played last year, the the D will only be a little better than they were this past year. I'm expecting big things from the O though. I'm expecting Deuce to have his best season yet....I'm expecting Stallworth to take another step towards being the top WR....and I'm expecting AB to moderately improve upon last years numbers. I think expecting all of those things is quite reasonable but remaining level headed at the same time. If the O can protect the D, then 10 wins is definitely not out of the question.
