than being fast. Our overall level of athleticism is very good. Far beyond what it was for years. But those plays are more about instincts and understanding assignments than anything else. When our CB properly takes on the edge blocker, our LB coming across for the tackle is allowed to look faster.

The defense has been a masterpiece of aggression and soundness, all in one.
