Well, here is a good breakdown from the last game. I don't know if other games were similarly analyzed, but I think each of the big plays was a different breakdown.

If you follow this, I think you'd have to say righht defense was called, just a couple players didn't do their part.

And I don't think Mario, Amobi, or Smith were in this particular play on the left side of defense.

And this analysis seems to differ from Kuharsky's analysis.

The defensive philosophy that we have been wanting to see is that of an aggressive blitzing style defense. If we can get pressure on the QB, we should be able to get more TFLs, Sacks, and Interceptions. However, if the front 7 is getting into the backfield, the play of the Safety has to able to clean up and protect against big plays.

Now, if our Safety is so horrible that he can't be depended upon, then the defense would revert back to what it was last season. The LB's stay back and the CBs get picked apart. We essentially go into a Prevent defense that allows the offense to do anything they want, but a "big" play.

Personally, I prefer what Bush is trying to implement. It's just a matter of coaching the players better to execute the called defense. I'm hopeful that Pollard will make a difference in the Secondary. I'm still taking a wait and see approach.

This is the main reason I'm not completely fed up with the defense. They are having some success and getting into the backfield. There is a bit of high risk and high reward with this mindset. Thus far, we've seen much of the high risk. If we can get more consistent play from the Secondary vs. the RUN game, then there will be less complaints.

Texans 29, Raiders 6. The defense, and Frank Bush, sure showed up today. We have found our safety in Pollard, he played a good game. Cushing got his TFL, and for a safety! Maybe this was the coming out party we have all been hoping for.

It is pretty plain to see that Pollard can make a difference in the run game defense. Next week the Cards come up on the schedule, so we will test how well he can cover. Very impressed with Quinn today against the run, hoping he gets an interception next week like he was doing all the time in training camp. Can't say enough about his play long with the rest of the defense.

Supposedly, the word is that Bush decided to make things simpler this week so that players would be able to digest what he wanted. With fewer things to memorize, the less likely a singel player would forget his assignment. At least, that's the word. Whatever the case may be, I actually enjoyed watching the defense this week.

Don't get me started about the offense though.
