The likely improvement at CB will be a major factor. D line will be strong. Linebacker will be more than competent. The question is, will the offense be effective enough to not consistently require that the defense play at superhuman levels. And unless the staff has someone targeted in the portal, it appears that they are betting the farm on EB at QB. If that's the case, I hope they are right. O line won't be any worse than last year, might be better..... running backs are strong, TE is in good hands. WRs should be adequate....
It'll come down to the QB play and the o-line.
