So...how does this lineup compare to the 2012 Cowgirls' lineup? Do we have more talent than them individually? Do we have a specific unit (LB, CB, etc.) that is better than theirs? What areas do we need to improve on to be equal to the what they played with last year?

I brought this thread into action, because a lot of people are saying Ryan never had a top 10 defense. Well, I don't think we need one....NEED is the key word here. I think if we have a Defense ranked in the 14-18th area and with our Offense (which is lightyears better than Dallas, Cleveland, or Oakland EVER had) we should see a 11-12 win season. Thoughts?
