But Byrd doesn't just fill one hole, he would make the entire defense better. By turning the weakest link on the D into one of the strongest, at the most pivotal position, all of a sudden we're a possible top 10 D.

I truly believe that's the impact of a big rangy FS in Haslett's defense.

FS is pivotal for our defense, I agree. I dont think he just changes everything. We need a tackling ILB, something Fletch couldnt get done last year. We need Riley back. We need a SS who can tackle as well. Byrd doesnt fix those problems in the middle.
