Assume this will be a top 5 Defense!

Schiano isn't head coach material in the NFL, we all know that, but the guy knows defense.  Bucs defense last year was easily above average and if you look at defensive efficiency metrics which take into account multiple defensive categories then this defense was already rated top 10.  So I dont know how anyone can say this team's defense may not be good when we have Lovie Smith, who has consistently put out defenses that have been in the top 5 in the league.  I anticipate this defense to to be right up there with the best, especially after we went out and got our pass rusher and corner.  This defense should also free up McCoy to pursue the QB moreso than he ever has before so expect his numbers to hit all time highs too.
