No LB can cover Cooley and no CB can cover Santana without help. Clinton's offseason weight program work and new practice habits taught by Byner are key. Special teams are much better on coverage units, but our kicking game is still average. You have to think the offseason decision to jettison Coles and Gardner, the only 2 skins who wanted out, was the key. Everyone wants to be here and if LaVar will keep his mouth shut, we could dance our way to the Super Bowl. Gibbs' ability to adjust and create new ways to exploit our 3 headed monster has left defenses gasping for air. And getting turnovers and holding onto the ball the last few weeks is a key. Keep pounding defenses into submission and then go up top to Santana. Voila!
