We're at a much better position talent-wise than you guys were after McDaniels was ditched. There's no reason why our 5 Pro Bowl player defense can't crack some skulls together hardcore as soon as they find a new starting CB and one or two upgrades in the front seven.
Scheme is going to be the key. And that has to come from a good defensive coordinator. Denver found theirs. If we find ours, we're back to raping midgets on defense.

Our 2010 defense was putrid. Champ was literally the only good player. Amazing what was accomplished in 2 years.
You guys can't (or at least shouldn't) spend your super high pick on D, though, like we did.
