I expect to see a big improvement in AU's D from last year to this one, however, still probably a year away from building an elite D.
Same expectations. The DL has a chance to be one of the best, a lot of experience and a ton of talent there.
Also the DTs are going to play much better, not just due to being older but in a better system. Chizik and Roof liked the DTs to cover Gaps and our DTs aren't big enough to just eat holes. When BVG came on board he actually thought a couple of our DTs were busts at this level. His idea changed when he told them to get penetration and try to disrupt plays instead of just hold a gap.
Secondary should finally take a good step forward with the DTs helping get pressure plus the experience they have. Safety play is an area of concern but should come up some this season as well.
