I worry a bit about the D being better than the O.

I do not worry much at all.  Our 4/nickle pass defenders are world class and our LB's are a lot better in bulk than others on this forum seem to think.  The DL is weak outside of Phillips who is fragile.  If Phillips stays healthy all year and others (Cotton, Jackson, etc.) step up to the plate, we could have an awesome defense.  Fingers crossed!
