These guys make performs, they’re relentless. They keep after it, even the sting gamers with [Myles] Murphy and [Boye] Mafe these guys keep after it as they're speeding. It's going to be a problem for us up entrance. We’ve got to attempt to outwork them. We’ve got to attempt to end them as a result of these guys are aggressive. They’re ending by way of the whistle. Then the factor that jumps off the tape is how they've attacked the soccer. That they had 4 takeaways towards Tampa Bay, actually giving the offense a brief area to work with. The offense goes out and places up factors off of it. They play actually good complementary soccer. The protection is effectively improved. The corners are good, safeties are good. The 2 inside backers, they’re taking part in quick. They're taking part in bodily downhill. Defensive coordinator Al Golden’s achieved a extremely good job along with his protection.”
