How do you think the Defense did today?

[Gaz]

This is still not a good Defense and it will not be a good Defense until we can get pressure on the pencil neck with our front four. That is not going to happen this year.

However, the D played well yesterday. They held Jordan under 100 yards and did not give up the long gainers. 2nd & 3RD tier players stepped up. It is a sports cliché, but it is true. Washington and Sapp did a good job. They rose above themselves and filled the huge shoes of Surtain. I expected the Raiders to pass up and down the field, but the Chiefs secondary held them down. We had to blitz to do it, but we forced Collins to throw before he was ready several times.

This Defense is still a work in progress, but I see steady improvement week by week. They have overcome the disappearance of the Offense on several occasions, fighting a delaying action against The Enemy until our Offense wakes up and joins the battle.

Big props to the D.
