The biggest reason we started 8-3 last year was because of our defense. This is the same D minus Jenins and Williams. We added Darby, Armstead, Savage, a healthy Miller and Hamilton, 2nd, 3rd, and 3th round pick on D

 Coaching absolutely makes a masive difference if you get the right guy.  We don't have the talent to be a top 5 D but we have the talent to look much better than we have.  Before the injuries started to stack up on D last year our defense led the league mid season with 15 turnovers.  We are now on place to set the record for the fewest turnovers in NFL history.  Crazy to think coaching doesn't matter lol.  Our core of this defense is still here with actually a few upgrades, Armstead is one big upgrade but the coach plays him out of position and subs his guys in and out like it's a hockey team.  We have an upgrade at nickel as well but it took the coach mid season to figure it out.  If coaching didn't matter teams wouldn't fire coaches every year.  Huge differences when teams get the right coach.

Lol, you rehash my entire argument about staffing, pretend like this roster got better in the offseason, and then insist I'm wrong. Coaching makes little difference when the players are trash. Our problem is the players before the coaches.

Yes i think it's a better roster on D from last year and we are 15 spots worse and about 11 less turnovers. The coach is playing Armstead at DE lol.  You think our roster on D this year is 15 spots worse than last year?
