    Quinton Coples was very noticeable. Had the 1 sack but he was consistently getting close to the QB.
    Antonio Allen looked pretty good at safety. He has some speed and he always seemed to be around the ball.
    Also Kyle Wilson was pretty good in coverage I thought and tackled well. Kenrick Ellis had a much better game then the last one. Showed he can be a good backup NT. Made it difficult to run through the middle.

    As for our older guys Cromartie and Bart Scott had good games. Laron Landry had the interception which was nice and landed a big hit on Cruz.

    I think we have a chance to be a top 3 Defense again. Our season basically relies on our offense finding a way to put up points which isn't really news to anyone.

    Kyle Wilson is still running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

    I love what Rex is doing with our D but if the O is horrid and we go 5-11 and have a top 5 pick I pray we keep Rex I mean Cincinnati kept Marvin Lewis throughout all the down times and now they are on the come up

    Gotta stay focus and patient regardless in the NFL if you suck on O someone's got to go

    I thought Bart looked great. Wilson showed some flashes, and Davis had some nice special teams plays. Overall the defense played great.

    Unfortunately they may need to play 85 Bears great to keep us over .500

    Yea our special teams needs to play smarter too. No more penalties and that take out by McKnight where he made it like 10 yards was just an awful decision.

    Quinton and Kenrick stood out to me big time last night.

    Kenrick was constantly getting double teamed and on one on ones the Giants lineman couldn't handle him, I think he can be a problem for opposing offenses this year.

    As for Quinton, he's looked excellent against the run, improved against the pass, and he's getting off his blocks consistently. I'm liking what I've seen out of him already.

    Our 3-4 base for the next few seasons is looking great coming together

    Wilkerson-Ellis-Coples
    OLB Draft Pick-Harris-Davis-OLB Free Agent vet
    Revis-Landry-Bell/Draft Pick-Cromartie

    With Wilson, Maybin, Sapp, Lankster, Dixon, Mauga and DeVito as role players now our offense on the other hand
