I can only speak for myself but I'm not happy with the talent on our defense either. Keepers are Norman, Breeland, Kerrigan, and Baker. The 2nd tier is Fuller/Cravens/Smith/Murphy, aka guys who might be good someday but still need time to develop. Everyone else is replaceable. If Baker walks we are 0-3 on d-line starters, both Compton and Foster are replaceable at mike, and both safeties are replaceable. That's more than "a couple pieces" away.
