Our D is going to be stout!
I'm not really worried about DL depth. Tuttle will/should be ready when he'll be most needed. The pads haven't gone on yet, but we all think Kongbo will be a stud. We need Alexis cleared to have some DT depth, but we're deep enough to withstand an injury without him. Our DE depth is insane.
Likewise at DB. We have 13 that will probably get rep's. I think our DB's will be much improved.
Shoop will be a difference maker. No doubt in my mind. If he can do it at Candy, imagine what he'll do with our talent!
My only defensive concern is LB depth. We're hurting if Kirkland or JRM get injured. Jumper or Bynum will go in for Kirkland. McDowell or Sapp for JRM. We really need Bates to get healthy, stay that way, and play to his potential. I'm sure Bituli will get rep's. Just a big drop off if we get hurt!
