Not sure to what the big difference should be attributed. From a personnel standpoint, Pickett, Powe, Reed, Mohamed, Swearinger, K. Lewis, and Manning are gone and Wilfork, Covington, Clowney, McKinney, Demps, Moore, and K. Johnson have been added.

Maybe our safeties contributed more than we realized last year. Or our ILB and CB just facing different competition. Still early i guess.
Probably our QB being sacked more than last year as well.
So takeways and sacks are two big indicators of success or failure.
