It's definitely a coulda shoulda woulda situation, but can you imagine where we would be IF we didn't give up the 4 HUGE plays in the first 3 games?
Week 1 - T Jones - 38 yard run - Missed assignment
Week 2 - C Johnson - 57 yard run - Missed assignment
C Johnson - 69 yard pass - Missed assignment/BONEHEAD play
C Johnson - 91 yard run - Missed assignment
Week 3 - MJD - 61 yard run - Missed assignment
Insert Pollard, Cushing and Dunta's "Preseason" is now over, Antonio Smith remembers that he can actually play....
Even though we have still given up a handful of big scores, 30 yarder or so to Fitz, forget to cover Vernon Davis on a couple of throws, and let an old TO run on a scamper.....gentlemen, I think we have a legit defense. If we can continue to rank in the top 15 of the major statistical categories, we should fare pretty well more times than not. The other guys get paid fairly well too, so I fully understand, and expect that there will be some oopses (said especially on the week of the Colts offense), but as long as we can continue the path we are on, we will be fine. I am a firm believer in what they are doing on offense, so if the D can hold them to 17-20, we should win more than we will lose.
And that makes me a Happy Texan!
