Props to the D

The D is better without Fua and McClain in the middle. There, I said it.

They'll take a leap forward next year if they pick up secondary help FROM GUYS WHO HAVE ALREADY PROVEN they can play in the NFL.

It's actually Fua more so than McClain. He can't hold the point!

We made stops when we needed them. I know we don't have a top defense but we did play a top run offense. Add the injuries to the equation and a win looks even more impressive. I really think our defensive tackles are playing well or at least better than the two rookies we had starting before.

Dont know why we let go of Landri or why Neblett wasn't starting from the get go. If I recall they were two of the bright spots last year at the end of the season when the rest of the dts were playing like poo.

The Texans rely on their D with Yates at QB. Hopefully not what they expect to see in the playoffs.

Hey Salty... I told you we could beat Houston way back and you scoffed at me.. :p

D stepped up big, esp with all the injuries. Senn is a baller.

Our defense is worse than awful, so I throw the QB out of the equation weekly. A fumble and two picks is a big win for THIS Defense.

just goes to show, when receivers and a rookie QB cannot beat this D, our fans congratulate that same defense they cuss every week.

the D didn't play any different today than in the past..

[The Saltman]

sorry, Bleys knows all.

[bleys]

thanks. I know you mean that. ;)

We really won't see what our defense is capable of until next season when our starters return from injury.

On a positive note, Hogan got some valuable playing time, and could be our #2 CB next season. It's fun to get a little preview of what he can do, like jam a WR our of bounds.
