This defense is absolutely stacked. This unit has the potential to be a top 5 or even top 3 defense and with a defensive minded coach and the coaching staff we have, I think most people will be disappointed if we don't have a top 5 defense this year.
Again, don't get too caught up on the positioning. It's hard to place these guys before they even take a snap, especially considering the fact we have a lot of new faces in here. You don't win a prize for spotting where the strength of this defense is.
I had no idea where to put Antonio Allen, is he a corner, is he a free safety or is he a strong safety, in the end I put him at free safety.
