I think our D will be a whole step better this season. B/R has an article regarding Waynes having a breakout year (his open-field tackling and coverage both improved markedly last season), the Sheldon Richardson addition should pay dividends, and (I keep mentioning this) our new OC was involved with the last offense to shred us...so he can work with Zim/Edwards on closing whatever gaps we had.
Our expectations should be pretty damned high this year.
