The unknown is Rex Ryan. Forget the issue if his defense, and keep in mind that more often than not teams start the season very slow on defense no matter who the new scheme or coordinator is. That is the reason for our opening.

Defenses are always the slowest to get up to speed in any season, add on a new DC and scheme and expect a few games before our feet are fully under us on that side of the ball.

Good points Oak. Drew will seriously need to torch Atlantas secondary for us to have a chance in our first outing with the new 3-4 defense. I would imagine that we will need a couple of games for Ryan to determine where every one needs to be and get the most out of his players. The defense is going to take some time to get clicking, but when it does I think that our defense will show a massive improvement by seasons end. We've got the tools to do it!
