I'm a huge DJ homer. If DJ was playing in today's NFL instead of the 2006 version, he might have a HOF career.
No idea if Gay can be that guy, but if he can be on the field, he'll be damn good. |

Gay and Bolton are going to be one badass duo.

We are back to having LB's. Bolton and Gay are real NFL LB's.

I admit that I don't know much about football, but watching the game last night, I found myself thinking that someone has stuck a cattle prod up the collective asses of the defense. It looks to be completely different than earlier in the year.
Am I wrong?

I was saying the same thing yesterday. Gay was everywhere.
And we simply had a stud at each level of the defense. It was amazing. |

I swear it seemed like everytime they took Bolton and Gay out, and put in Sorenson and the other LB'er; the other team ALWAYS makes a big play.

2. They now have the right players in the right spots. Jones has been an absolute monster 3. The younger guys (Gay/Bolton/Fenton/Sneed) look soooo much more comfortable playing the game. They're just reading and reacting right now. It's beautiful to watch. 4. Spags has been aggressive and letting his guys play and the results are showing up on the field. 5. We've been somewhat fortunate over the last 3 weeks with facing some teams that have had some key injuries/players out....that said, you still have to execute on D and they are ABSOLUTELY getting it done.

Gay just needs to stay healthy. I'm excited about him and Bolton taking over.

The thing that coaches don't like to hear is that speed solves alot of problems. Even if a guy like Hitchens is in the right position, doesn't mean he'll make the play. Willie can be in the wrong position and still make the play. Same with Sorenson vs Thornhill.
Sometimes talent is better than effort, hard work & experience. It's not a coincidence that this defense has been playing WAY better once Hitchens snap count has been reduced - whether that was from injury or from coaches playing him less - he's played much less snap counts in the last 5 weeks (when you know, our defense has been good) Hitchens snap count by week 1 to week 10 Week 1: 47 Week 2: 65 Week 3: 52 Week 4: 49 Week 5: 47 Week 6: 11 Week 7: 0 Week 8: 0 Week 9: 31 Week 10: 22 DAN SORENSON snaps by week Week 1: 59 Week 2: 76 Week 3: 60 Week 4: 73 Week 5: 57 Week 6: 19 Week 7: 16 Week 8: 27 Week 9: 22 Week 10: 27 It's like magically after week 5 we don't suck at defense anymore after Hitch and Sorenson snaps decline MASSIVELY.
