You know what would really help out our D line would be to pick up a veteran DE in the offseason. I mean a real vocal leader that can contribute on the other side of Mario.
I realize we're not close to where I want but if you're gonna spend money, let's get some value.

I am not an apologist for Reeves, but he has played better as the season progressed. His pick last night was fantastic, nice read and break on the ball. Overall, the corners have been playing better, I do not think it is by chance once #23 was back and they started playing more press coverage and not giving up the easy completions. Reeves also appears to be locating the ball better than he was earlier in the year. He still has a way to go, but he is playing at a competent level.
The front 7 have also been playing better and Wilson and Ferguson are the best safty combo that we have seen.

Dunta coming back has been a plus, but the linebackers have been the key in my opinion. Demeco got healthy and is back to making plays all over the field, and adibi got healthy and on the field. We now have speed at LB and as a result we have blitzed far more effectively. I think this (along with eugene wilson) is why the CBs have looked better. They are still a below average group of corners, but you can get away with that if you're athletic enough at other positions to apply pressure to an offense.
Just look at tampa bay, they are one of the best defenses in the NFL and they start philip buchanon at CB. But they pressure the QB and that makes all the difference.

I think it is all of the above. The players are maturing on defense, so overall line play and all of defense improves, confidence in each other. Coaches have appaeared to allow tighter coverage and blitzing more the past couple of games which seems to be working. And not just statistically, but from what I observe, Jacque Reeves himself is getting much better at anticipating the ball and his tackling the past two weeks.
