I agree, skinsguy. But the run defense was stout, which I think is the crucial stat for this D. Still, having to blitz to get pressure will expose us eventually to big plays--it's just a fact in this league. We need to minimize those plays, and our offense needs to score enough to offset them if they happen. That's what killed us in Dallas last year. Ok, the D blew a big play. But we only had a 3 point lead, so there is no margin for errorr at all! Pressure up front and points on the board will help.

BUt overall, I like this D! And Giffin at the end: what a great play. I'd love to see Sean get a pick or two Monday.
