Broncos Mailbag: Has defense been improved enough to be team strength?

Denver Post Broncos writer Ryan O’Halloran posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the off-season. Submit questions to Ryan here.

I hear a lot about how great our defense is based on stats from last year. However, all was not perfect. In the meantime, we lost Vic Fangio (one of the best defensive minds in the game) replaced by a question mark to call defensive plays (no disrespect and no judgment to Ejiro Evero), we lost several players and we currently lack some depth, especially in the secondary. Do you think we can count on the defense to still be a strength, or could it become our Achilles heel?
