This Defense is better

It couldn’t go anywhere but up from the mess they fielded last year. But, it is good to really see improvement there.

was Canady active? Is he available? was he out there?

What about Wright?

Herbert picked on Brown most of the day

Didn't notice those guys on the field. Brown has really fallen as a player.

Sometimes (not all the time) penalties are caused because the other team does things to mess up your timing/performance. It can be cumulative.

Our defense is much better than last year. Let's hope they improve.

They need to work on the 3rd and long defense.

They need to work on the 3rd and long defense.

They need to work on a lot of things & it looks like they have been. We all knew it was going to take some time before this D got their act together. So far I'm impressed by what they've managed to do. The turnovers have covered a lot of their faults, but I wouldn't say they're terrible anymore.

I was hesitant to compliment them last week because I wasn't sure if it was us or if the Bucs were just rusty. This week confirmed it. They still can improve and they aren't all-pros, but they still played very well for a team missing 3 starters.

defense is bending but not breaking starting to remind me of Marinelli's and some of Wares old Defenses that were pretty good..Opportunistic but will give up yardage..so far they are tops in the league in forcing TOS and its keeping us in games but hopefully as they gel more then can have shorter drives against..id like more punt..
