This is the year the defense will actually be good, for real, maybe. No, wait, come back, the defense may actually be okay this year. The past five years of Rooffense have lowered the bar for what’s considered acceptable defensive performance (I have gone on record as having accepted “fine” as a base level, which it still wasn’t that year.) The difference this year is when I hear things are going to be different, I actually believe it this time. Nothing is perfect and it’s especially foolish to think so in the first year of a new defensive scheme, but all signs point to this change being good.
