Usually, I am, but this year I honestly see a promising defense. It looks like everyone will be busting their tails just to get on the field and busting their tails more to stay on the field, even down to the special teams' positions.

Well, I certainly hope so. I am particularly excited to see what Ahmad Brooks will do as the full-time starter this year. How does he look to you? I think the secondary will be much improved this year, and the D-line should be adequate, but the LB's will be the key to how well the defense is this year, and the development of Brooks could turn that unit from a weakness to a strength.
