offense (not that all of them have issues, but most of them do), an average defense has the potential to look good to great. So, if average is what we get, I think we'll all wind up pretty happy with the season.

Bronco's intensity… Last year, talent issue? Or, drive, focus, teacher issue?

Im sorry I am having trouble understanding you. Would you mind rephrasing.

IMO, both. The DL was just not very good last year, and the LBs weren't as good

Lots of injuries on the D around that same time, so yes, the D lost some talent

When you lose top players from a bad D, how much have you lost?

I really like the talent. I am also really concerned about leadership this year.

I count 7 seniors and 9 juniors who ought to be contributing on D this season

Heck, an average defense would be much better than last year's
