Hoping Ron Rivera is the difference for you guys. Really do

Getting rid of Manusky, and having the players coach themselves would vault the D into the middle of the NFL.
Adding Chase Young, and a proven DC in Jack Del Rio, pushes it even higher.
How high? Who knows.
But losing Manusky and adding Del Rio and Rivera by itself is a game changer. Throw in the consensus best player in the draft, and these dreams become more plausible.
