Another non-defensive year?
On the contrary! I think defense is going to be a factor. Any rookie team that only has a basic chassis running can play pretty effective defense this year.

In Autonomous they can drive down the ramp and hamper the other alliance going for the IR Beacon. Or they can start on the mat and prevent the other alliance going for the Rolling Goals. Or they can take up a blocking location that prevents them from moving the goals to their parking zone.

In TeleOp they can heard balls, (5 at a time), away from the other alliance. One robot can slow down two robots pretty easy if they are on the same half of the field.
