Disagree.
Our Edge play should be a lot better and we should get to the QB this year, which was our achilles heel last year.. this will help relieve the pressure on the secondary.. which imo will be even better this year. Mukuba is a big upgrade + Williams, Barron & Muhammed all having 1 more year of experience. If Cole is as good as I hope he is.. the secondary might be elite.
The only real ? is interior DL play. They won't be as good as last year, but we have a lot of capable bodies to have a similar rotation to last year. Collins & Broughton played about 35-40% of the snaps last year in that rotation.. they won't be as disruptive, but that is where our Edge's should also help. We just need these guys to clog rushing lanes..
Anthony Hill is a stud and will clean up a lot of that as well.
At the end of the day, Texas should have about 8+ players drafted in each of the next 2 drafts, perhaps as many as 24 combined if all goes well. About half of those are on defense.. half on offense. We shall see if that translates into W's.

Yeah I should have been more specific. I'm worried mostly about the interior defensive line especially in a league that likes to pound the rock.
