I so ready to have a great defense again. That was unreal.

That video got me pumped! I know that was just preseason, but damn! Those guys were swarming to the ball! Pressure from the defensive line, LB, blitzes. This defense looks like they're gonna get nasty. I hope so! Bring on the Vikes baby!

I see a lot of play maker ability on this defense.

Sam aka Captain checkdown could be in trouble on Monday night.

Did we ever resign McDaniel?

Why? We have two nose tackles on the roster already...

I thought he arguably played better than Davison. I just think they made the wrong decision on that one.

Seriously? You do realize Davison convinced everyone with his first series of his level of play and sewed up the job...

While McDaniel, trying out, took more snaps to make the same number of plays, against players that, like him, are no longer in the league?

If Davison goes down we're done up front. No depth at the nose.

Same can be said for 3/4's of the teams in the league. If not more. Injuries can leave every team exposed in certain areas.
