They looked good yesterday but we still didn't get any sacks

Tackling was really good yesterday. Cam Jordan is beginning to show up. A batted pass and what should have been a sack, that whistle was garbage. Loved to see Big Shaun Rodgers come flying to knock the whole pile over on that play. I magine seeing that guy coming at you like that...

agreed, this was Cam Jordans best game so far.

This guy will get better, he's still a rookie and he'll get more comfortable soon, he definitley showed improvement yesterday.

They played with some passion and intensity this week, like the Rams played last week. Now to keep it up for the rest of the season.

A solid B+

The D played with a purpose not dominating but with a purpose. Now bring on the Falcons and prior to the bye I hope we make this a statement game

It's not always about getting sacks.

I to was very impressed with the D today. It was great to see Greg Williams getting all fired up.

Like Payton said, they protected the edges and when the Bucs ran b/t the tackles there was very little room inside. When Blount got through he was immediately ganged tackled and hit hard most of the time. Good gameplan on GW and execution on the D. Maybe they didn't get the sacks but they frustrated the Bucs enough to get the roughness calls. Good enough.
