Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 5151146, member: 19"] As bad as the D was at giving up chunk plays, they should be commended for how they did in the red zone. It's easy to give up, but they kept fighting and saved 12 points. Some of that was helped by Ohio's bizarre red zone play calling on that drive before half, but still. I'm not a believer in the greatest improvement is between week 1 and week 2 theory, but I do believe in improvement over time. I think the D will get better. The biggest keys right now are probably Coach Wright (because he's not only Co-DC, but has been a successful DC) and Justin Barron. Barron has to step up and be the leader with Wax down, and just has to play all around better than he did against Ohio. I think the GT game is going to be a shootout, so if you hate defense, you should definitely buy a ticket. [/QUOTE]
