Other than that, I agree with everything you said. Apart from Golston, Montgomery, and Carter, our defensive line is old, and they suck.

Alright, good catch. That 27 is much closer to league average than it seems though.
1) by losing all those games, we got run on more than an average team
2) teams like the Jets and the Colts were SO bad against the run that it skews the average towards us
But the point I'm trying to make is that if it wasn't for our secondary, we would have been much worse against the run. We probably didn't have a top 30 defensive line last year.
Our pass defense couldn't have gotten any worse, but our run D certainly could have.
