So far... our D has looked much better than last year over the last couple of weeks. Especially at stopping the run. However, it looks like we are getting better as we are also getting some Vet's at our LB positions with Timmons and Maualuga. We've helped our secondary with Tank in there instead of Maxwell. I know people are saying, let's see how they look against Atlanta. Here is my one caution with saying that. Our Offense is soooooo terrible and can't hold the ball that no matter how good our Defense is, if they get gassed because they are constantly on the field against and really really good or great Atlanta offense, the outcome might not be what we are looking for. That's something to take into consideration. Perfect example against Brees and New Orleans in London. The D held Brees to 3 points in the first half. 2 TD's in the 2nd half with the 2nd of the two coming with less than 5 minutes left in the game. The Defense was done at that point. It could look the same against Atlanta. We might hold our own for a while until the D gets tired.
