I voted Top Ten. Before I did, I looked at the top Defenses from last year, and tried to guage what they gained and lost. Tennessee was number 1, and they lost (among other players) Jevon Kearse, which will change their line play. Philly (#2) gained Kearse, but lost their starting CB's - surely affecting their style as well. Baltimore should continue to look very good. New England lost Ty Law, but gained Rosevelt Colvin. Carolina lost a couple of good CB's, but their system seems to rely less on individual heroics and more on team play than most.
I know we'll be vastly improved. The question becomes, who will get out of the way to let us climb to the top?
