How was the run defense? What about the scoring d? Forcing turnovers? The defense, overall, was borderline bad last year.

You could also attack it from the other angle -- when you consider how attrocious our offense was our defense actually played pretty well. I mean, how many TDs were given up by our offense, or directly contributed to short fields? How many 3 and outs? I'd be willing to bet our defense had terrible average starting field position and faced more drives than most.
