I don't get the gloom and doom. They didn't stand pat at any level. And we still have the draft to go.

The doom and gloom is over the Peter's trade. This isn't called overreaction planet for nothing. Everyone who is upset about the Peter's trade are the same ones that are predicting a bad defense. Those and the one's screaming for Sutton's head. But I'm really not sure that he was the problem. That defense scheme absolutely destroyed the Pats week 1. But that scheme was designed with Eric Berry as the key to it's success. When we lost Berry, the scheme was failing. I think that this year will be better for the defense as well. I think that Berry's return, as well as the improvement at ILB will transform our defense. We will be better against the run and maybe about the same against the pass.
