Moment of silence for Fritz Shurmur....maybe the last best Def. Coord. we ever had. Capers is certainly up to the task of replacing him, though.

hopefully they can actually stop the run this game! im excited to see the D against Brett more than anything no lie should be great!

Very interesting, I have been wondering all season if we were holding anything back. Most teams do but I like the point where he said the most important game is the one we are currently in. I am really looking forward to tonight. If the O-Line keeps it together, I think we have a chance. We have to keep that d-line away.

So, no trickery for as far as I've seen. Just a whole lot of stacking the box and containing the outsides to stop the run. That worked pretty well.

Problem I have so far is that the blitz schemes have been very vanilla. I thought this would be more like LeBeau's Pittsburgh defense. Maybe not as good, but at least with some comparable blitzes and what not.

I've seen a lot of 3 and 4 man blitzes. Especially on 3rd down, he very often seems to send 3. I'm not crucifying him yet. He obviously has quite some time left and it's the first year in a 3-4, but it's all just looking very vanilla at this point.

I think we were trying to shock them by not blitzing. Maybe that was the trick?
