Re: This DEFENSE is for REAL!
 

This defense reminds me of the Houston Texans Defense of 2 seasons ago... Wade Phillips had just became the coordinator, and they couldn't keep a defender on the field because of the injuries.... But they put together a pretty good defense while they got healthy and that's where we are.... Next Man Up!!!!

Here's why I will give this defense my blessing.....
- Rob Ryan lost both his guys ( Butler, Coleman) before we even sniffed the season.... They will be back!!!!
- Two division games only 31 pts.....
- The two graded out worst safeties in the league last year already have a pick a piece and a fumble recovery between them.....
- Curtis Lofton is flying to the ball....
- The D Line is VASTLY improved CAM, JUNYA, HICKS are taking on all comers!!!!

Jordan is beasting in the 3-4. Hicks has went from flashing as a rookie to playing like a future all-pro. Jenkins is the real deal at NT. Hawthorne is making an impact. Lewis is playing very solid at CB. Vaccaro is making plays. Haralson has been a steal from the 49ers. Jenkins has improved. Greer is scrappy and looks to be healthy. Rob Ryan is bringing all of the above together. So far, the defense is for real.

Its early to judge,but its def an improvment. I just want to be able to wipe from my memory that 50 yrds run of Jackson in week 1 ...

Re: This DEFENSE is for REAL!
 

The defensive play is a welcome change for the better, but our veteran offense needs to start putting up some points before the defense gets worn out.

Two wins, and both lasted 60 full minutes. Not 59:55. SIXTY.

We need to BURY someone for once. It hasn't happened since the Colts.

5th in Points allowed , Down ! If we get our O clicking , We will be the Feared team to play

Re: This DEFENSE is for REAL!
 

My main worry as things stand is the lack of cover on the line.Cam,Jenkins,Hicks started to look tired in the Bucs game.
Again a good running game could eat the clock and keep them off the field but until Walker, Bunk and Johnson are fit its a worry.

We may need to get it over with and Sign Seymour

Re: This DEFENSE is for REAL!
 

If we get our O clicking, its gonna also hype up our D to play harder.

Re: This DEFENSE is for REAL!
 

Judging from the Seattle game, the 49er defense looks a little parted out. Their D is allowing 28.5 points per game. The Colts will be a good litmus test.
