Is it my imagination or is this maligned group starting to come around a little more? I've noticed improved play out of Walden and the D line seems to be getting better rotation now that Neal is back and playing himself back into shape.

In the secondary - I think we can expect more out of Burnette now that the cast is off, and Tramon has successfully played through his injury as well. Shields' tackling skills remind me alot of Darlene Sharpier, but he sure can close on a receiver. And Wood is Wood thank God.

Inside linebacker is the place where I shake my head. I absolutely loathe Hawk and Bishop covering tight ends. They suck at that and since everyone has to pass to catch up, it is a real problem.

I stopped after the first few words because yes it is simply your imagination and lack of offensive talent the Packers defense is playing.

well when you are the 31st ranked defense it doesn't take much to seem like you have improved. But over all they do seem to be coming together as a cohesive group. finally.

We're a +20 team in terms of takeaways/giveaways, which ranks us at 2nd.

I'm not that high on our D just yet. I'm waiting for a shutout. I want to see us completely dominate an opponent defensively and the best indicator would be to hold them to 0 points.

Our D was significantly better last season. But then again, our O wasn't nearly this good. So it's a trade off. I do hope our D starts coming together. I hope you and Dakota are right.

I could really give a rats ass about being 31st in yards given up! Scoring given up and turnovers is what matters on defense. Having a lock down defense with our offense = Zero money made in Vegas. It is also Fascist, but we do have a lot of extreme dingers in the Forum.

I said that way (31st total yards allowed instead of 15th in scoring defense) just to see how many would jump all over it. [grin1] I was not disappointed.

True or false. There's been fewer miscommunications since Smith has been wearing the headset.
