Watching AJ Hawk coming in hard from the corner and knocking that FB aside reminded me immediately of Reggie and how that forearm would lift 300lb tackles off their feet.
I think that one may have even taken Hawk a little by surprise.
This defense has a chance to be real special and here is why:
We do not need the LB's to create pressure and get the QB running. That is HUGE because once you get the "0" line focused on the guy in front of him THEN you bring the LB's or Bigby and they never see them coming.
PLUS, we can leave the LB's in coverage schemes more and take away the passing lanes without needing them so much on the rush.
It looks to me we are going in with a "D" that is definately underrated although it won't take long for teams to see what we have over on that side of the ball.
MM is installing a "toughness" to this team we have not seen in a long time. A defense that is actually fun to watch vs. a horribly painfull experience to sit thru.
FINALLY!
