We need to talk about our DC and our defensive players.
Harasymiak showed some incremental improvement last year but this year our D is really coming together. Rarely out of position, few blown coverages, and a D that makes the other team work hard to score. I don’t know if we’ve given up a scoring play of greater than 20 yards this year.
The biggest thing, though, is how well this team tackles. No arm tackle attempts but solid form tackles and hard hits, with guys swarming to the ball. I think this is our best tackling team since we joined the Big. It’s actually a joy to watch.
