I know they will do the best they can this offseason.

to, to try to, to try to fill in those holes, you know, pass rush is certainly something this team is going to need.

I think the linebacker position is going to get retooled a little bit.

Um, the defensive backs, you know, I think, you know, Kevin Byer would love to have that guy back.

Um, what, what, what the Sean Wright was able to do this year as a kind of an unknown commodity and just, just rise to every occasion.

Um,

I'm cautiously optimistic.

It's a defense that has a lot of good parts, but at the end of the day, it certainly is a flawed defense that was picked up, for lack of a better word, by the turnovers.

Really, the turnovers masked a lot of the imperfections.

Yeah, and you'll certainly think where they're at on the offensive side of the football with some of the younger players, what they're going to do with DJ Moore.

So that's going to impact on the defensive side as well because of the cap situation.

So certainly it's a group on the defensive side.

As I said, it's going to be a different group.

It's going to always be a different team each and every year, so you know that's going to happen.

But they've got some core.

They've got some really solid young players.

They've paid a couple of their guys on defense, so there is some stability there at certain positions.

But at the end of the day, they're going to have to draft well, as they have been doing the last few years.

They're going to have to continue to draft well.

You saw what they did with the draft on the offensive side last year.
