Those were relatively easy to achieve last year, and the Patriots and Ravens both exhibited that late in the year.
A 43 under combined with adding Okafor and Speaks as starters on the edges will drastically improve the run D.
Next area of improvement is to add playmaking in the secondary and add guys who can hone in on the short area of the field and improve performance against quick routes. I feel like they’re close on that... adding a Cb and a S who can play the deep middle are still key parts of that.

I’m sure Mathieu is going to be moving around a lot, but I believe they want him to be the deep middle guy mainly. I can’t remember who exactly had the quote that said that but one of our beat writers had it.
Obviously, plans in March change, just throwing it out there.
