I have to agree with maineram, as soon as Marmie left the whole unit improved. He had a track record of abject failure as an NFL DC.

If you add in what I see as personnel upgrades across the front seven and secondary then I think the view that the D has improved could be unqualified.

A minor concern would be depth a DT as well as CB and S.

I think that Haslett will get them to be a solid Defensive unit, not dominating but competitive enough to make the difference in a couple of games at least.
