Defensive coaching

Dennis Allen knows what he is doing. You can tell the good D-coordinators from the bad by their in-game adjustments. He adapts well. We've had a several games where we've given up a touchdown on the opening drive and then we play lights out. You have to have awareness of what's going on to be able to do that.

I’m sure we have all noticed the in-game adjustments have been missing or maybe poorly executed, but that just isn’t the case this year. We adjust on the fly as well as just about anybody.

Crawly could start for just about any team in the NFL right now. He’s not only playing better he is playing like one of the better corners in the league. He’s also been tested a lot more because most QBs try to avoid Lattimore if they can.

He is still a bit too "handsy" and late to locate the ball, but he is a good corner with the upside of being really good if not great like Lattimore.

The upgrade over Harris was like night and day.
