We stopped the last big play BUT we gave up too many big plays - still, like last year.

Well one of them was broken coverage I think.

Its not like we didnt match it, like the Kenny Stills big play.

For some reason I was not holding my breath with Hartley was kicking field goals today. Good job Garrett.

I still felt a lot more confident with this defense than last year.
Last years defense was like watching slow death from a flesh wound - it stunk!
No matter how much I sugar coated it, that defense wasn't going to stop anyone.

When SP fired Spags, I actually felt relief.
If our defense can limit "big plays" to just every other week, it would be a huge improvement.

what never helped Spags defense is the fact that it never complimented the offense and vis versa. I was worried about Spags defense because it was so much like Gary Gibbs defense, the end result was............it was exactly like Gibbs defense which resulted in a 8-8 and 7-9 season.

When Rob Ryan came in, big part of his defense was to compliment the offense and vis versa. It worked today.

I dunno about Spags, I thought he was an elite DC, perhaps hes nothing more than a smoke and mirror guy that is no better than Gibbs.
