1.  Yes.

2, 3, 4:  Not sure, but I think we notice improvement, and the excitement of defense comes back.

5.  Hopefully something cool.  Will depend on answers from 2,3,4.

6.  Coach Todd Orlando

Last year we saw 6 ints, 0 returned for TD. 13 sacks. 11 forced fumbles with 6 or so recovered.

I think we double our int count and our sacks get near 20.

we scored 28 ppg, and allowed 41.17 ppg. Just a few drives going differently and we may have been a 4-5 win teams last year.

Lrgest defensive impact with Todd Orlando! Smart decision, 😂.

I don't care what sats change other less points per game against and more 3rd and 4th down stops! Let's hope we go extra hard on tackling drills.

5. Unless that D is waay better than last year they won't be called Bullsharks. they gotta earn that. DBs jumping routes, DLs getting in the backfield and chasing QBs, I wanna see agressive schemes on D. They were dead last in '22. If they blitz all out and get burned for a TD so be it. Nickel defense or soft zone or whatever that was last year didn't stop anybody. try to disrupt the QB every down or get picked apart. last year they choose get picked apart

1. Yes

2. Fiftyleven Hunnid

3. 9 (3)

4. 13

5. War Daddies (I know it's KP's DL right now, but if the defense is playing physical, impactful football, expand that nickname to all of 'em)

6. The collective defensive line. I expect more pressure this year, which should lead to more turnovers and chaos in general being generated.

As long as they turnover the Defense we had last year I will be happy, we can’t be any worse, we were unwatchable and god awful, if we are not better this year then most of us will not be on by years end.

Great episode of a podcast that talks about the secondary including interviews with players and coaches

 

Edit: it's the Bulls Unlimited podcast for those who don't want the above mp3 link
