But the other half is player execution. We have another very young team. Important players out like Jones and Boyd. Not to mention Raji.... Which brings me to Pennel. He seems to be doing great. Not that he's playing great now. But he is holding his own in the middle of the trenches, And even getting a little push. Just as I suspected, he seems to have become a catalyst.  Directly, I have seen Guion step it up. The two of them are really getting in the mix. Daniels is a stud, but not great yet. Solid contributor though. Now getting other contributors back soon, Boyd and Jones. I am optimistic our problems against the run are slowing becoming less... At LB, I see Clay almost getting there alot of times. But he still gets more than his share of our pressure. Peppers is really starting to look comfortable out there. That wingspan of his... He has been reaping the rewards of having Clay roaming around. Hawk has been playing above his average I would say. Lattimore is another good contributor that we will be getting back soon. All in all, our LBs are on a up-trend.The secondary is begining it trials. Losing Sheilds or Williams always hurts. But losing them both back to back? Ugh. Our young CBs will be tested. Cam can drop 400yds, and Brees can hit 500. We will have to play well on the front 7 to help them... I hope to see some 3 safety sets. Olsen and Franklin are monsters. We need the beef. And Clinton-Dix, Micah Hyde are both playing great. The best development out of anything listed above (other than Peppers coming into his own at OLB) Is that Burnett seems to be playing with a passion now........ Like Butler, Sharper, and Collins before him, it took half a decade to become the hall of fame calliber safetys they were. "Potential" I kept hearing (like with Bush) Potential didnt help when Collins was a rookie laying eggs all over the field... I admit I was wrong on the previous safetys. But with Burnett I have been optimistic the whole time. Wouldve loved to see him and Collins playing together right now,,, but still, I think Burnett, has lit the fire. And he will burn bright for us IMO.  All in all I think our front 7 WILL get better and better every week as they continue tocome together. Williams and Sheilds sitting a week would be a great test for our developing young secondary. And neither starters seem to be hurt long term.... We could be in position to really hit stride after the week 9 bye... Everyone healthy, and everyone playing at a high level. This will make our coaches look great<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />And I am looking forward to seeing how this up and coming defense handles a up and coming Newton.....Coming off an ankle injury. 17 rushes last week marks his full return as superman I assume? We will see<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
