yeah dude i live in wisconsin, trust me, i recall. that defense was much more potent and thats when we saw the emergence of Tramon and Shields... especially in the post-season. not to mention starks came from no where to give us a rushing attack in the playoffs. different circumstances, but i have faith that the pack will seal their fate and get in. and like you said, once they're in, anything can happen
the biggest difference i notice in defense from this year to last is simply more turn overs thus resulting in less yards and better statistics, they still gave up the same embarrassing wide open plays they have been for the past few years. this year i've watched the emergence of Casey Hayward, which as far as i can tell, will be our top cover db in time to come. i think a lot of the run issues we experienced is due to losing Atari Bigby(spelling) which was a great run stop safety, as seen on the Texans. Burnette who played well for us last night also is performing well under the circumstances. they're our future and i look forward to watching them because they are a YOUNG group being taught by one of the bests corners to play the game. it's simply time for us to draft linemen on both sides of the ball.
