What if the defence is getting good?

I believe we've all (at least, most of us) feel the defense is due to welcome a skilled new brand of pro football into our lives and pleasure. Those who have been carefully chosen to take care of that part of our favorite team will be likely to bring new expectations for our members to enjoy. Here's hoping that anticipation hasn't been seen in vain. Our current defense may be destined to make us very proud.

It should take due time to get fully organized. Hopefully it might not take too long to see that the talent level and those coaching them are extremely capable. Let's just make a special effort to be somewhat patient in the meantime. Great things always need enough time to develop fully. Let's be very patient.

We have 7 additions who have already proven they can keep pace against the opponent's best players.

Yes sir one of the many reasons i'm excited to see this group.

So, there's a thread out about how the defence beat the offense today in the first full padded practice. Rather than trashing the offense, which was one of the best last year and was good the day before, I think we need to ask a different question. What if the defence is getting good?

Think about it. If our offense can get back to being as good or better than last year. If Aubrey is still automatic. Then, we just needed the defence to be average/middle of the road......but......what if Parker is making them to where they are good?

I'm not trying to put too much stock into one practice. However, the defence actually beat the offense today. And a top offense at that. They're making them have to rethink their approach and adjust the strategy to go against them. To me, that's a something. Not a nothing.

I think that Christian Parker has this defence developing into something exciting. If the offense and ST (particularly Aubrey) are truly among the top again, I think this defence could make us a legit contender IF they're able to follow up today with more impressive activities. Especially when they ultimately go into the joint practices. Our first preseason game is against the defending SB champs. Today has me excited to see how they do against a really good team. If they can outplay Seattle's offense, my goodness....

So yeah, I'm not taking today as a concern about the offense. I'm taking it as maybe we have something on defence. If we do, we might have something in 2026 with the Dallas Cowboys. I hope so anyway.

If our defence is good, I'll change their name to defense.
