I have always been a big believer in staying young on defense because history shows players on that side of the ball are much more likely to fall off a cliff once they get paid. We saw perfect proof of that last year.
I fully believe that even without anymore additions, this defense will be far better by the end of the season than the one we saw last year. No question about it.

Pass rush is the key. Its the #1 thing that can improve or sink the defense. If it's good, it will make the other two levels better. If it's bad, the LB's and especially the DB's jobs gets a lot harder, especially with all the new faces.
