re: In your honest opinion, do you think the defense will be better this season?

We added Bell, Rankins, Fairley and Laurinitas. Anthony and Kikaha are a year older, wiser and stronger.

A key element you didn´t mention that I believe will be greatly improved is our CB play. Breaux really struggled early on last year but finished as a legit #1 CB. With Breaux playing the lock down corner this year, it will allow a healthy Keenan Lewis to play the #2 CB. Lewis might no longer be a solid #1 CB but he should be a great #2. I think those 2 pieces of the puzzle will really aid in the improvement of the rest of the defense. This and the switch in defensive scheme could very well benefit our pass rush as well. At least this is what my optimism is telling me.
