re: I don't see our defense taking a step back this season.

I have high hopes. Lots of unproven talent, but sometimes that's where the next studs have their coming out party and surprise you. When you have guys like Montgomery and Mingo last year, every team knew they had to double team them and gameplan for them. But nobody will know what hit them when Hunter and some of these young linebackers start making their name. Afterall, there was a time when hardly anybody knew who Eric Reid, Tyrann Mathieu, Barkevious Mingo, etc. were.
