I'm not sure I am ...
I'm worried that after turning on the afterburners in his "new" defense (Gay, McCain and others) this past month or so, DL will fall back into his comfort zone when his big dogs return. I just know that more often than not recently when Troy and Ike were on the field, "comfortable" wasn't the word to describe what I felt when the clock hit 0:00. Ike: so dang many "1st down at the spot of the penalty" fouls because he was burned so badly. Troy: so many WFT decisions on the field that put him way out of position, missing tackles, etc.
Maybe part of what makes our secondary look OK recently is the increased performance and pressure of the guys up front, and we'll continue to do OK in the secondary. Either way, I sure hope we don't lose momentum in these last 5 games ... like someone else said in another post, we have zero margin for error, pretty much on every play!
