Grrrillapmpn Inc.® Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Great tackling, I mean yeah we still whiffed a lot of sacks but the tackling this time around was something to write home about. Good job D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennywell Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The defense played tough - I loved seeing us stop the run without getting gashed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Gibbon Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 There is also more consistent pressure from the front four. Biermann did very well and almost forced two INTs to DTs. Matthews is also flashing his potential. He seems to consistently apply pressure but is always just a step away from making the play and hopefully some more reps will help him figure it out. Too bad Edwards wasn't cut sooner because the younger DEs seem to be responding well to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only Matthews, but Robertson is flashing a little at defensive tackle. Heck, even Crisp Owens got in on the action last night and played great defense.

babybanks80 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I am the first one to call Crisp Owens a dog every week, but I have to admit he even impressed me last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlfanstckndenver Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I don't think there's any question that this rush defense is rounding into form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Tackling and much better gap discipline. Hope the players are figuring out the problems in Run defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
