seeing Will Smith get a mere hand on a quarterback after 5 seconds as he let a ball go was always frustrating

Pretty much sums it up.

Pass rush, Gregg Williams had to manufacture one with exotic blitzes, which teams eventually catch on to.

Jordan, Hicks, Bunkley, JJenkins, Galette... That's the main reason why our defense has improved so much.

bingo

Greg Williams cost us a Super Bowl in 2011 when he went all out blitz against the 49ers on that final drive. Prevent defense and it's 3 and out, or at least stop the drive well short.

We were rolling that year, Giants in the dome, then Patriots
oh what could have been

lets do it now with a great defense!
really proud of that front four
