I think the biggest thing is that we're winning games that we would normally have lost... games where we play completely bad or are getting hosed by the refs but still win. The Patriots game and the Vikings game are a couple of examples. I think Quinn and having players like Kearse, Parsons and Diggs has completely rearranged this defense. The attitude is completely different. We're not getting clowned on defense like before and guys are actually hitting. Like you can clearly see the attitude difference in the 'old guard' players and the new ones. Just look at how Jaylon looked in Green Bay. Look at how Vander Esch looks here. Both of those guys look exactly the same, and it looks like they are playing in a fashion to try to 'stay under the radar' instead of putting it all on the line. That might have been ok in the country club atmosphere of years past, but it's not acceptable now. Remember Vander Esch telling Parsons something along the lines of 'you can't go all out on every play' and Xavier Woods admitting he doesn't give 100% on every play? I just get the feeling that players of the past regime didn't really feel like they can win and Dallas was somewhere they could go to play it safe, not be under intense pressure to win and pick up relatively easy checks. Just look at how the old players never really stood up for each other. When Sean Lee got popped by Golden Tate, nobody got in his face. We won that Patriot games, but Parsons was clearly mad that he didn't pop off the screen, so he came in early and put in work and he looked completely different the next game. These guys seem to have much more comradery and they aren't getting punked and clowned like years past.
. I hated that about Garrett, but I love this about our coaching staff now. Why's disclose anything that isn't required by the leauge? Even Jerry and Stephen aren't saying much on the radio anymore. What a change we're starting to see. I like it.
