Regardless of alignments, a few things must happen on this defense this year. The first thing is for Malcolm Jenkins to step it up this year. Interception totals can be overrated, but in his case, it's gotta go up this year. Gotta see more big plays out of him. Next is for the defensive line to get to the quarterback. Been mentioned a million times on here. Next is for the linebackers to be able to cover tight ends and such over the middle and be quick enough to pursue the edge.
