So basically, Saleh's "philosophy" seems to be: "Give me 11 All Pro players - with a few future HOF'ers - and my defense can beat anyone. We're in deep shit.
Well, if we suck this year, then it becomes clear who's at fault. Last year, they had second rate talent. This year, there should be no excuse. If this defense is as bad, or close to as bad, as it was last year, it should all fall on Salah and Ulbrich. There are LOTS of teams that have done way more with less talent than we had last year, so this year, if the team doesn't improve, it's not on the players.
