Watch them young linebackers collapse the lanes.

A little illustration breakdown of this sack. Spags brings Mathieu, Bolton, and Hitch up to the line just to give the idea someone could be coming. Opens the left A gap with the placement of Reed and Jones and has Ingram work to it from the delay. Beautiful pic.twitter.com/eHHb8F5kOC

Ingram has really opened the defense up to play much more aggressive for sure

In one of the pressers, they said that this play wasn't a called stunt, but that Melvin sensed the void created by Chris and flowed through it.

These guys are now at the point where they are vibing off of each other naturally and blowing shit up.

I'd like to see more sending Willie Gay at the other teams QB.

He hits like a freight truck, can play like a Micah Parsons in our offense.

Every snap he either goes or drops into coverage.

Spags took the CP insults and calls for his job very personally

Having a great offense is fun, but having a badass defense gives you a different sense of pride and confidence.

You certainly get less of a sinking feeling with every first down.

He has. You can't really double anyone anymore. It's great. Just gotta hope they stay healthy.

Gonna eat some crow in this thread too.... I've been a huge critic of Spags and this D, they've proven that they can turn it around.

Great job Spags, great job D...

Missing our best player at each level, they found a way to get it done.

Solid performance against a good young QB down 3 top players.

Gay = best LB
Sneed = no. 1 corner
Jones = best pass rusher

Not many Ds would perform well on a short week missing those guys.
