What's with the defense.

No criticism from me tonight. That defense hung in there for 60 minutes in 100 degree weather carrying an offense that couldn't move the ball an inch.

I think we're yet to make anything on the highlight reels on defense, but it'll come. They had nice pass protection and figured on us blitzing all night and we just kept them off kilter. All I know is they had 2 chances to get into field goal range adn couldnt get there. HAIL!!!!

Dallas scored 24 points against the Chargers and 13 against us. One crazy ass flea flicker that is a fluke that Greg Williams said the defense knew would come, just got beat damn that sucks because the D is stuffing the run again, just missing the big play. Fantasy owners it does not look good, but damn they are GOOD!!!!!!

Now that I think about you tak away the 1 trick play by Dallas and 2 turnovers deep in our own side and that makes up all of the points against us.

I think alot of it was the game plan. Last year we got sacks on the blitz...this year we havent been blitzing...but we are giving up less than 2 scores per game....I think the man has a plan.

Did you notice how the prevent took more time off the clock and forced a shot into the endzone at the end of the game? If everyone is covered the QB takes longer to find a target...it made the difference between field goal range and have to hit the end zone

I agree. The prevent is perfect for 36 seconds left and no timeouts. When teams use it with over a minute left is when I'll say "it prevents you from winning".

The flea-flicker never works on Madden!

I didn't see much of Arrington either? What gives?

The D was great tonight, no doubt about it, they stopped them where they needed to and kept them from making multiple big plays. I to would like to see more sacks and int's, but as long as they keep offensives from scoreing more than 2 TD's a game, i can live with that, just need our offense to start hitting on all cylinders and we are there. Maybe this BIG win and it was a huge win, will give Brunell the confidence he needs to start producing like he did when he came into the league, like i said we have never really had the Great QB, so why is now any different, Gibbs will find the way.

I think this is how Williams planned it. He wrong-footed Parcells by holding off on the blitz and taking away all the underneath stuff to the TEs and RBs. He also pretty effectively took out the deep ball, except for the trick play and one deep out against Taylor. The main thing is he stuffed the run. I figure that they felt the key was not to give up the big play. They gave up one, and it was almost enough. Fortunately, Brunnell to Moss happened!

The book on Williams is that he brings the mad blitz. But Bledsoe can pick people apart and spread the ball. So we took away Juius Jones and played to keep the pass in front of us. It worked, overall. 13 points. Not bad. Should have gotten fumbles on two plays as well, IMO. The main thing about blitzing is surprise. So this will help us down the road as well--changes the book a bit.
