How is having all of the defensive players returning a good thing? Do you really think the lone reason the defense was horrible is coaching? Coaching contributed but it isn’t the only reason they sucked.

Well, for one thing I look at it as a great sign as far as locker-room culture.

We used to have a load of guys ready to opt out and declare for the draft as soon as they were eligible, and it didn't matter if they were projected as 1st rounders or undrafted free agents. That mindset seems to be gone now, and I am glad. I'd rather have guys less talented that want to work and play, instead of someone who thinks his 4/5 star rating is a lottery ticket to be cashed in 3 yrs.

If nothing else it's good for depth and players can improve

Let's say we return 10 players and only 7/10 retain their starting positions because they get passed on the depth chart by someone else on the roster or an incoming transfer. That's an improvement in 3 positions and possibly more assuming some of the 7 that retained their positions also improved.

What would suck would be losing 8 out of 11 because the guys behind them weren't good enough to get on the field
