2016 biggest team improvement : Speed on the defense

[NYJDraftKing]

All reports coming out of the first week of training camp .... zero in on just how "fast" the defense appears or has become ... !! What else have we done beyond getting rid of a few slow/old LB's ? Is there a few new schemes there? or are we seeing the maturity of Leonard Williams, Calvin Pryor, Lorenzo Mauldin... etc?

I think what you say is true, but two things stand out to me: the players are reacting instinctively instead of thinking in their second year in Bowles' defense, and the infusion of speed and athleticism of rookies Darron Lee and Jenkins at the LB spots.

And they got slower and older everywhere else...

Excited to hear the speed reports, we were severely playing from behind in that area. I'm tepid in my excitement because it's basically glorified 2 hand touch at this point.
