So, Spagnuolo inherited a poor defense in 07 and immediately made it good. And it continued to be good the next season. Then, he inherited a poor defense in NO and turned it into the worst D in the league with a bullet. Next, he inherits a bad NYG defense and again turns it into the worst in the league. But the following year he got it into the top 10. Then back down to 31.
What does this all mean? Is he a good defensive mind who had terrible personnel at times? Or is a mediocre coach who needs great players to produce? |

Don't expect a good defense but I expect a defense that at least can stop a couple 3rd and longs from being converted throughout a game.
That's how low the bar is set right now. Stop one 3rd and long conversion and the Chiefs win. |

Name a better team than the chiefs if we have a 16th ranked defense instead of the 31st. |

In what way? They were 24th in points allowed and also in points per play, I believe. Which is a more telling stat than yards/game. You can't compare their yards per game to teams with ball control offense.
To me, it's been the same sh*t the last three years. Not historically bad, but bad. Only difference is they got more turnovers in 2016, and last year they were on the field more due to a quick-score offense. |

I’m not sure we get an elite secondary player though. |

I’ll say Earl Thomas will be high on their list. I love Ramsey but I just don’t know what it will take |

I think that the mentality of average is good enough is a losing mentality. We better try and build the best D we can and hope it's good enough to make the big stops at the big moments.

Absolutely. Shooting for 'just good enough' leaves you open to something going wrong ruining your season. During a football season, something will go wrong so you need to be better than average to cover for it.
