For the first time in years we can actually rush the passer somewhat successfully. It's amazing how that translates into such a difference in the way our D looks/plays. We have some holes to fill that can be addressed through the draft and FA, but we're not far off. The trick is to gain DEPTH. That depth will make our ST unit better. Yes McMahon (and Vitt) suck, however they are trotting out scabs due to mismanaged drafts for years. You have to build depth through the draft. Let's not screw it up this offseason. The future is bright IMO

We are a turnover creating defender away from being a real good team again.

Yeah I'm actually optimistic about our talent for once in the past 2-3 years which is why I think the coaches should be feeling pressure except Allen

It was pretty wild seeing us stop a former league MVP QB fresh off a turnover/shortfield and turning them away after they had a first and goal from the 1.

This D has some legit pieces and with Kikaha hopefully coming back and potentially adding a high draft pick at end to the mix...I think a true MLB would set this defense off.

Fairly has flashed greatness at times
Jordan has played unreal
Rankins looks like a beast in the making
Part of me wants to add another DL In the draft and just build on your strength

yep. dominant front sevens win championships. helps out the back four so much. Need a dominant DE and a dominant LB this draft.

I really feel like this D is a DE and LB away from being LEGIT

yeah, they looked better again last night. Just wish we had put a complete game together but thanks to turnovers and special teams we fell short.

I think the D-line will have another game to keep its momentum going against the Rams next week. Rams O-line is pretty weak.
