I agree, but I also think that's one big thing they got wrong. The D was pretty solid last year, but not remarkable, especially given the talent we had on the field. The year before it was a mess, as with the year before that.

So we have all that talent (remember: DL was Kampy, Williams, Jenkins and KGB, plus the other guys rotating in, etc.) and we still weren't great last year, and all the other years we've looked pretty bad. Then we traded Corey, then KGB went down and didn't get back up, then Jenkins got hurt, and blah blah blah.

I was with everyone else; I thought our D was going to be the pillar for this season. We were very wrong, and in hindsight I'm not sure, personally, why I was so confident.

Eight starters missed a total of 43 games, including four on defense totaling 32. It was the club's worst bout with injuries since 2005 (11-66).

Now aren't all players in the draft pretty much the same age (within a year or so)? I think the reason the team was the youngest again was more due to losing 2 almost 40 year olds.
