    I think they know who they are, they go against Ben in practice.

    Defense is certainly better than it was a year ago, and certainly improving, but it is far from good IMnotsoHO.

    I'd say we're getting good. Good as in right in that 9-11th best in the league slot. I always thought the D may struggle a bit early with all the young guys playing then would get stronger as the year progressed if they started to figure it out.

    I hate that some people think we need to shut down Brady or someone else to be considered "good". To shut the Pats down you need to be "great" and have a good game too lol Brady has made a career shredding "good" defenses.

    We're good, not great. Maybe we can be great down the road a few years but not just yet. I'm encouraged by our progress though. We definitely have a good enough D to win it all if our offense gets hot at the right time

    Our D will get torched again, it's just how it goes. You want to see an upward trend is all

    I agree that the D is improving. I'm just not ready to "crown their a$$" just yet.

    It appears that the improvement has been the result of an improving Artie Burns.
