Defensive Talent on 2014 roster rivals 2011

the only area lacking is proven depth at DT, but I think one or two guys from last year's or this year's class will shine. We're stacked at DE not including the guys we brought in last year. We have stars in the defensive backfield at CB and depth at safety - think Jefferson could be a good one. LBS should be strong group next year with the addition of Beckwith and Alexander. Lamar Louis could be very good if the light ever comes on - he's quick and not afraid of contact. Future is bright boys! Thoughts?

You need to be extremely careful saying this type of thing. The 2011 defense is one of the most stacked ever - regardless of team.
I don't see near the talent.
Robinson could become a rock star next year, White is going to be solid and Mills and Collins provide solid depth. We are breaking in new safeties, even if they are highly touted. We have a weak MLB in Welter but I expect Kwon and Debo to be terrific next year. DT is as suspect as it has been in the last decade for the Tigers. A lot of young talent better blossom this year. Our DEs should be strong - a lot of depth and ability.
In short, I think you are wrong.

the 2015 Defense will be way better IMO

talent on a roster doesn't always match up to production, mainly because guys are still maturing and finding their way.
I think 14/15 will be a 10/11 type deal. meaning that there's a ton of talent in the way of potential (and maybe even some potential you don't see with a guy like Logan), but it doesn't all come together and dominate until 2015. and that's even if we lose guys like Hunter or Mills early.
consider that all the talent on 2011 was there in 2010, PLUS Peterson, Nevis, and Shepp. but 2010 isn't in the same league as a unit.

I could also agree that the talent on the roster next year will be very comparable to 2011.
In 2015 I think the defense will be more comparable to 2006 then 2011. The past 2 years we have gone after somewhat bigger guys in the front seven and taller/bigger safeties and cbs.
Take away Matthieu from 2011 and the defense is not as good. But someone like Ron brooks can pull most the slack. I see more talent (out of high school anyway), on the defensive side then 2011. Man for man, they will be just as talented. If they develop of course.

I think closer to the 2012 defense, which was still very good. Not 2011 though.

Sunshine pumping at its finest. People said our DTs would b great last year and our defense would be better than anybody expected.
