Are We exposed?

We're absolutely exposed.

All you have to do to scare us is line up against us with a great D line on a wet field.

fujita out really hurt and when dunbar went down..really hurt..is derick brooks still available?

My thoughts exactly .... I posted something about Derrick Brooks in another thread .... Well is he available? We need some quality LB's in the worst way!

The wet field and cold conditions definitely were somewhat of an equalizer ... Good thing it will likely be the last time we play under those conditions until Miami!

We've been exposed as a team that never gives up, makes the most of it's opportunities and finds any way possible to win a football game.

12-0 baby and we will be getting defensive starters back healthy by the end of the season.

With the Vikings losing tonight we are one game closer to securing home field advantage through the playoffs.

With Fujita out again, and Marvin Mitchell not with the team, we had to put Troy Evans in there when Dunbar got hurt. Evans, as good as he is on special teams, is a huge liability on defense.

The point is, when we're completely healthy, I don't know if anybody can beat us. But if we're missing a third of our starting defense, I'm not sure how good we'll be against a really good team.

I'm not really worried because Greer, Porter, and Gay should all be back by at least playoff time, and when they come back, I think we'll be fine. But right now, yeah, I think we're a little exposed as not being very deep.

thanks deuce!

They pressured Drew all day on a sloppy field surface and went after our makeshift secondary. I don't know how in the world we came out of there with a win but we did. Also The Colts are winning come form behind close games and they are heavy with injuries as well. Drew said it best on post game that we have been on the other side of these games more than our share of times.

DB's played too far off of the receivers because of the wet field and Cambell took advantage of it. Don't think we will see that again.
