This really isn't last years team.  The defense is much better.  The defensive line is still better than last years and we've strengthened the defensive back field.  It looks like Church is twice as good as Cyprien ever was.

The offense is the same as last season, not defense.

The defense hasn't really shown us anything these last three weeks to believe it's "much better". All I've seen is that if Ramsey, Bouye or Colvin are not out there in the secondary we're in a lot of trouble with the depth we lack. I've yet to see any signs of dominate pass rushing or edge beating by this front four consistently enough to feel good about them as a unit. 

Church has been a good bright spot but he's out there essentially mopping up tackles because the linebackers are all of a sudden slippery as hell and can't seem to wrap up anybody or they over pursue their lane and assignments. The last two weeks on the opening drives they've been absolutely man handled as well. Getting gashed inside and outside on the ground. 

I'll say it now. This won't be a top ten defensive unit in 2017. And it's going to tailspin because of poor QB play and offensive lineman play. They'll lean on Fournette and run that poor kid into the ground just like the Rams have done to Todd Gurley. 

It's going to be 2 yards rushing, 2 yards rushing (or a loss of yards) and pass incomplete on third downs with a punt probably 7 times out of 10 this year. It is the EXACT same [BLEEP] team we've seen over the last four years. Same [BLEEP]. Different names. Different staff.
