2020 defense will be even better than 2019

Aranda factor: Great coordinator, but teams did have a lot of time to figure out his tendencies. I'm guessing a new scheme, fresh ideas, new energy might actually benefit us.
Scoring: If our offense is less efficient, which is likely, just because 2019 is almost impossible to top. That will mean less shoot outs, less posessions for the other team, less prevent defense, equals less yards and scoring. It doesn't mean the defense is better, but the stats will look that way.
DL: Shelvin, Logan and Ferrell coming back are certainly bonuses. With the lineman we have, I could see a 4-3 as a better fit. Ika is going to be better than Shelvin, he is more disrupting. I can see Roy, Guillory,, Taylor and Gaye all possibly contributing as Freshmen. Veterans coming back, a more experience Ika, new talent coming in and maybe someone like Cherry or Thomas taking that next step.
LB: We lost a lot here but I am big fan of Clarke. I think he will actually be an upgrade. He is big, fast, athletic and more importantly very smart. Stevens could see more time at outside LB. Brooks will have another year to develop. I see him as a better Debo Jones. We also have a lot of young players that could emerge there.
DB: Losing Delpit was the biggest blow, but he did not play up to standards last year. I don't know if he was dealing with an injury or trying to prevent one but he was not the dominant force he should have been. Getting Harris back and another year of experience for Hampton is good. Ward, Flott, Jones and even Stingley will all improve in their second year. Getting Vincent back can only help. Ricks or McGlothen could contribute as true freshman.
The right coaching hire is going to be very important but the talent is there to be even better next year.
