Pass the crow.
Afaic, once the light switch came on for Ogletree and McDonald the D just took off. It still wasn't working through 7 games (the KC game in week 7), and I was having my doubts. But starting with the SF game, this D has been playing like we hoped they would. Aggressive, intimidating, dynamic, play making. It started with the pass rush against San Fran (rarely more than 5 people, but you never know which 5) which was the foundation for everything else. But the biggest difference these last three weeks imho has been Ogletree and McDonald. Their emergence as "jokers" in Greg W's D has put given this D the aggressive/dynamic edge it needed, and made everyone else look better (e.g. McLeod).
Also... getting Tru Jo back has been huge. Is it just a coincidence that the defense turned the corner the week he came back?
Getting CLong back will be... awesome!
Mo Alexander had a couple of great plays on ST today.
