Considering Morris managed a slightly lower than middle of the pack defense with 3 HOF'ers on the unit, what is an accurate and fair expectation for a unit with only 1 HOF'er and a bunch of rookies and 2nd stringers?

That's a heck of a question Ramsdude.

As much as I can parse this defense we're going to try to cover up an inexperienced but athletic backfield with a bunch of inexperienced but athletic pass rushers.

Given this assumption, I'm expecting bend-don't-break crossed with high risk/high reward as far as turnovers. Good teams will destroy us and mediocre and poor teams will be a toss up.

My reasonable expectation is that the D can be enough against those mediocre and poor teams for the offense to win it. I fully expect our defensive ranking to be near the league bottom due to the good teams rolling up the stats on us.
