The Defense

[Fleet]

Over the last 11 games going back into last year we are allowing less than 16 points a game defensively. Last years top 2 teams in that stat were Seattle at 15 and Carolina at 15. Both known defensive powerhouses last year. I think this is some pretty good insight as to how we seem to be coming together as a unit under Pagano.

Love it!

They're not a dominant defense yet but they do the job well overall.

Definitely helps having an offense that keep opposing offenses off the field.

Incontinentia what?

Right now the offense is struggling with that, glad the D is holding up so well.

Key factors: Acquisition of two quality CB's. Freeney healthy. Seems like guys pick it up just a fraction more when he's in the game. Props to Weddle! I admit even I winced a little with the trade up to get him. It's just so damn cool watching the player he was at Utah and watching him develop into the pro he is today! Awesome.

Ingram coming back from injury was the other really big thing.

Having Flowers and Freeney on the field and Luiget back healthy has made such a huge impact. Here's to hoping we get a few more bodies back and can really turn up the heat on defense.

I don't disagree with the CB thing, or really many of the other points. But how about a case for Reyes and Liuget playing better earlier. Both have had about as many good games as they did last year, and we have a lot of season to go. Liuget didn't play well vs the Jags, but Beadles is not a horrible player. They just need to keep building on what they have done. I like what they have done, but both can play better in a given game, and both can play that way more often. I think the delta between this year and last year is almost as high for the DE as it was for the CB (I think they can be better too). But both groups are doing so much better and it has made a huge difference.
