As far as our defensive ranking in 2016. I am skeptical as well. We got our hopes up about the offensive ranking in 2015 heading into 2016 and that ended up being a huge mistake. Our defense still has some holes and issues that need to be addressed.

 

We were still pretty lack luster in rushing the passer. Outside of Ngackoue & Jackson we didn't see very much in that department. We didn't create a whole lot of turnovers as well. We ended up tying or setting the longest streak in the course of an NFL season without a turnover at some point last year. 

 

Then you have to look at the injury concerns. We can't seem to keep Odrick, Marks nor Miller healthy for a full season at all so far. All three of those guys miss too much time and it sets back the rotation on our front four. That's a concern going into this off-season as well. We may also have a glaring need at the CB position once again opposite of Jalen Ramsey if Prince Amukamara decides not to return.
