Today's (8-2) conversation about the defense taxing the O-line, looking good.

[Skooby]

Our defense is forcing the O-line to play at a real high level, I'm talking top notch first string. There is no real break or giving up any major time to react. Fitz has the time to make his passes but he's literally forced to make near instant decisions with constant pressure, it's no field day. The D-line seems to be for forcing action on nearly every play, nothing simple or easy.

Gilmore is literally failing on only perfectly timed passes over the shoulder & doesn't have the advantage of previously experiencing the NFL. Gilmore is also consistently in a premium position & doesn't seem to be out of sorts for generally near perfect coverage.

Our whole team is playing at a near regular season talent on average, plan on 2/3/4 WR not being a detriment to the team. If anything we have multiple targets that can lead to first yard type success consistently, even bigger simple chunks of yardage.

Don't take the under this season for our team, .500 would be a outside chance instead of 10 wins.

I actually like the fact that the offense lit up the defense yesterday (Thursday) for a change, from the perspective of the defense. That helps keep the defense from becoming complacent. If the defense starts believing all the hype that has surrounded them to this point, they can still be embarassed by a great offense.
