Indeed. That gash up the middle has stopped the past few weeks. Pickett's job is to be a big fat guy that can't be moved off his spot and ties up blockers which gives Watt and friends more chances to get at the ball carrier. And I've seen that big guy get down to the sideline in pursuit a few times. Romeo knows what he wants in personnel. Let him work his magic.
The back seven still scare me even though their play has improved a lot this year. I still expect to hear "Holding - DEE-fense - Number 25" out of the officials 2-3 times a game but it isn't happening as much.
I'll save my comments for the other parts of the roster for when others jump in.
