You could see how shakey he was for the first few games. He progressively kept getting better. You have to think, this defense is Still trying to find itself. Many new players and a few coming of injuries.

If we didn't change a thing on D for 2 years you would see some amazing things from this current group. They need experience but more importantly they need to gel in a way that they can just look at each other and know what needs to happen. Pitt has a D like this and so do the Bears.

This is what I find encouraging about Dunta, the defense and really the team as a whole. As solid as we are now I feel like we haven't even come close to what we are capable of. Will we ever reach our full potential, who knows, but it sure does look like we have the right pieces in place.

I'll say this, if we can develop into a true top tier defense watch out because that plays into the hands of our offensive scheme, we'll be tough to beat for a long time.

The scary thing is that if you think about it, this is the 3rd year of the new regime, we are technically still rebuilding.

He said the footwork is different and there is much more backpeddling in this system. I believe it's a mix of missing the pre-season with injuries and adapting to this very conservative defensive scheme. I think Dunta will just get better as time goes on barring any inury setbacks.

Yeah, I really enjoyed listening to his take on things. More than just his physical skills I really liked his attitude, definitely a team player, he obviously has his **** mind rite!
