I think the key to the defense and perhaps the whole 2013 season lies with the running game, both on offense and defense.

If we can somehow get back to or close to the caliber of our 2009 rushing game (4th in NFL), it will keep our defense off the field and demoralize the other team somewhat.

If our defense can somehow be in the upper half of rushing defense, that will improve our pass rush and in turn our pass defense.

I think how well we stop the run could be a big key to the season.

I know the defense was horrible last year, but everyone forgets how unbalanced our offense was as well. They had no sustained success whatsoever and hardly attempted to commit to run the ball. If they could have kept the opposing defense on the field longer, our defense might have not been so gassed
