We'll be lucky if we hold anyone to 30 next year.

Nobody is saying our defense is bad. They're saying it isn't at that 'elite' level yet. It is, for example, lightyears away from 2002. I would not feel comfortable completely relying on this defense to carry our team if our offense couldn't get anything going.
Will this change next year?
I hope so. I think it might. I don't think it will need to.. But I think it might anyway. Senior leadership is big. We will have a lot of it. Talent is big, and we will have a lot of it. Potential first-rounders all across the field for our defense. But will it be 2002? We don't know.
