Which area will be most dominate and which will we have to rely on the most to save and/or win us games? I'm talking D only.

I think we are good at any spot except ilb2 and a good back up edge rusher

True. Reddick will be key. He is a player who could potentially fill both voids you mentioned. If he can step up or be coached up, our starters look very good on paper. Reddick's improvement during last season shows me that he can't be deemed a lost cause yet.

Got to be able to stop the run and have to get QB pressure from somebody besides Chandler Jones.

Secondary is a strength again. Run defense might still be suspect.

The new corner we got is awesome, check out his highlights:)
I think we have a pretty solid team now, except I hope we get some more Offensive linemen and a safety that is a ball hawk would help a lot.

I think at the moment our secondary is the most improved. Swearinger and Murphy bring some badly needed rip your head off attitude. If we can add a pass rushing de this is going to be a very good defense.

PFF rates the #1 and #2 positions in all of football are your QB and your CB's.

We are going to be just fine guys. Our biggest issue will be Hicks's health. We must have one or two contingency plans.

Jones, Suggs, Peters, Allen & Reed will be sweet also.

I think our pass rush and improved secondary will really be our strength and will create turnovers...that is IF we play to our potential, I think we are all worried about depth at the OLB position, but the two starters and Reed are an awesome trio.

As long as injuries dont occur to much that's always a big worry
