Yeah, his coverage has been outstanding. That's way more important in a CB than wimpy tackling.

Overall the defense is playing great. Holding teams to scores less than 17 points after the 1st two games and to be able to depend heavily on the defense the last two games for the W when the offense crumbled. Ingram fumbling most likely would've been the probability of the Saints losing without the improvements. This defense is getting better, they're young and hungry. I am guilty on speaking how Manti Teo missed his assignment & Crawley not tackling, I should be praising the overall performance. They got the job done and got the 'W'.

Yeah, it's like coming home from a weekend with Jennifer Aniston and complaining about her cooking.

Overall, this defense is playing like one of the best in the league. Maybe the little things are standing out now because they're doing most everything else right.

What I learned is that I am freakin' estatic over this coming year's draft... hopefully we hit a few more home runs this year.

it's almost like when you think you are going to shut out a team and right at the end on the final play, you give up a touchdown. That is what will be in your head for a long time.

I'm haunted by that game in 1968.................leading by 65 points and the other team got a last minute score!!! Thus ended my career as "THE KID"
