Last year showed the weaknesses of the Bears defense. They couldn't cover, they couldn't tackle, and they couldn't stop anybody. They were torched in games against Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Arizona.

First, they landed the No. 1 free agent, Julius Peppers, who will give the defensive line a big boost. Peppers is the type of player who can change the game himself and is a steady threat on the defensive line.
