Dont care if its preseason or practice. Im seeing a defense much like 2009. ATTITUDE!
We switch to a 3-4 and win a game with maybr all 4 starting linebackers out.

LBs ? Our backend should be better lots of quality depth DL IS shapingup.

I'm cautiously optimistic. :couch:

There is a lot of parity amongst the bottom 6-10 defenses in the league. If we can improve from pitiful and inept to mediocre (which could happen just by having a stable off-season and players who fit the system they are in), then we could easily jump 8 spots, and if we have a couple of actual games like the one last friday, we could probably leap frog some of the lesser mediocre teams (like the Raiders). I don't think a 10-12 spot jump in out of the question. Looking at the league right now, I think that our D should at least be able to improve to 24-22 though. If we stay in the bottom 8 I will be pretty upset.

Anyone who is still using 2012 results to project how the 2013 defense will fare doesn't know much about football.

and let's not forget Hartley actually hitting EVERY FG including a 53 yarder.
