Let's talk defense

Let's at least get his name straight, it's Demetric Evans.

LOL! See what 3 hours of oft-interrupted sleep will do? I'm fortunate enough to remember my own name today.

Sean Taylor. Man, now he's laying wood on special teams! I don't know how that guy held on to that ball though. And speaking of special teams, isn't Rock turning out to be a little diamond in the rough>

I agree, the defense was pretty damn solid. As for the score, remember a pick and fumble deep in our territory resulted in 10 or 14 points?

Not only that, but the little end zone dance after the touch resulting in a penalty gave Jax a short field on the ensuing kickoff.

12th man, that sig is hilarious...

I thought the poor tackling is NOT what we're about, but we were baning up all of their player, except that mammoth freak of a reciever who we decapitated and knocked retarded in the endzone... that guy has balls...

A few tackles and the game is a blowout... 3 guys around jones-drew on his TD and the one slant route that posey got beat (to be expected by a wideout) that went for a TD, we missed him like 6 times!

I DO think we werent as afraid of them because all their recievers can do is jump and break tackles... they lack speed, which can kill an underdeveloped secondary on a team that commits to blitzing and leaves corners on an island...

I don't think we're out of the woods yet on D, but as long as our Offense is clicking and keeping them off the field I think we'll do great! (Didn't figure Id be saying that 2 years ago, lol)

Defense is showing improvement each week. When Springs returns and he shakes off the rust there should be more improvement, but it wont be immeadiate. Carlos Rogers was getting picked on some. Although while Springs is out, Carlos takes the other teams #1 WR, which there aren't too many people in this world that can shut down a #1 WR. I rather Carlos give up the underneath stuff as he has been doing, than give up the long TD.
Rumph has found a home with the Skins. Coach Williams really likes him.
Taylor and Archuleta are starting to play well together.
The one question mark I have with our Defense is defending against a good power running game. The Texans and Jag's do not have a power running game. The Giants game will be a good test to see where we are.
Both our offense and our defense are a work in progress. We will improve as the year goes on.

Three things I look for in the Defense as the season goes on.

- Archuletta to get more comfortable in the system, esp. in pass coverage.
- The return of Springs to prevent Wright and Rumph from being owned by opposing receivers
- More pressure from the D-line.

It was good for Andre Carter to taste blood today. Should boost his confidence, which has been low lately, with all the criticism about him being just another an overpaid FA acquisition. I agree that this was a good game for the Defense despite the Faguars scoring 30. The two turnovers by the offense put us in poor field position, and that can't be attributed to the D. Anytime you hold a team to about 300 total yards, the defense has done its job.

It was also nice to see Daniels get into the mix with the sack and INT. He played great down the stretch last year, we need him to continue to step up and make plays.

How did that receiver hold on to the ball in the end zone...ST and i believe it was warrick holdman sandwiched him and his helmet flew...:-(

Yea it was pretty weird to see them kick off from the 15.....also after the titans guy did his little stompy did u see where dallas got to kick the ball?? haha the opp 40 yard line
