why i am optimistic about the defense

1-better bodies

cb has gined 15lbs, gm and eg have gained 25, dt has gained 30. Clr has raved about bodily changes in cw and rd, much differnt than last year.

2- After av's acl goes south he pumped out a combine high 38 . This suggests strength and conditioning is very effective.

3- competition- 5 deep at rush end 4 deep at corner. Hard to imagine anybody getting pt unless performing at a very high level.

4- elite athletes not available last year- I am thinking dj, zb1, ba, al and well maybe more than a few more

5- portal- those 7 guys are going to make a huge difference. Huge

6- injured returnees- dg, zb1, eg and rh all biting at the bit to show how special they really are.

7- newbies I understand how many have optined on the two deep, but tc, sg, bs, dp ,cp ,mc and who knows who else will make fools of all those opinions.

8-Without namiong nmes but many realize the only way to get a 7 or 8 digit contract is to get some pt and they are doing all that is humanly possible to get that contract.

9- dc has watched every ugly play from last year dozens of times with three thoughts

what can i do to teach that player to not let that happen, how can i put that player in a better position, and how can i get better players.

10-new defensive advisor- fresh eyes, fresh ideas and excellent teaching technique.

All of this is going to make an enormous difference
