Serious question to answer ........will the changes on defense be enough? We've added three new players, ( four if you include Gregory). Are they truly upgrades are replacements. In other words, how much of an upgrade is Neal over Joe Thomas at LBer or Kazee over Woods for a team the finished dead last. The bottom line, it appears the FO is saying last year's defensive issues were more Nolan/scheme than talent.
These are the questions in my mind but they have at least given themselves a chance to be better, now it is about health, execution and the draft.
How much better will Quinn's D be over Nolan's D?
Will Dak be healthy the whole year?
Can the starting OT's stay healthy and does Nsekhe's availability (Erving was not available for a big part of the season) help?
Does Martin stay healthy?
Does Jarwin stay healthy?
Does Lamb take another step?
Is Lawrence healthy the whole year?
Is Gregory focused in a contract year?
Does Bashman give your more then Aldon did last year?
Does Gallimore take the next step?
Does Hill stay healthy and take the next step?
Does Urban give you more than Crawford?
Does Neal help the run defense?
Does Kazee give you more then the trash we rolled out last year?
This is before the draft (sample draft change how you like)
Can Surtain/Horn play like a CB1 next year?
Does a FS like Grant come in and give you quality reps?
Does a DT like McNeill come in and give you quality reps?
