Quote:They'll be a top 30 squad for sure!

 

On a serious note I just really want to know what NYC really feels like regarding Gus and his ability to coach a defense. If it was always about talent then what kind of a difference will the massive talent infusion the team will get make? Marks will return, and unless he's seriously declined then he's at least going to be a strong contributor, and the team added prior pro bowler Gipson, elite talent at tackle Jackson, and Amukamura who has had injury issues but always played well when he's been on the field. Plus the big three "rookies" if you could Fowler as one who all were top five pick level talents.

 

With a great defensive mind like Gus at the helm, what is the expectation for the defense? Here are the defensive statistics from 2015:

The Seahawks were the best defense only allowing 277 points, The cowboys were in the middle with 374 points, and the Jaguars were second to last with 448 points allowed.

 

So what's your expectation in 2016, NYC, for points allowed, or just your general feeling of where the defense will rank in the order is fine, too.
