I think individual players are playing hard, but as an entire defense, they're lackadaisical at times. And I don't know if that's coaching or the individuals or a combination of the two. People often say that professionals should not need a coach to fire them up to play hard, but it's still a reality that some coaches consistently get guys to play hard and some do not. That said, the defense only allowed 6 points that were "honestly" earned by Jacksonville. The PR touchdown was obviously not on them, and the other TD was a 26 yard drive. If they gave up even one real touchdown drive on the day, the Packers lose to a horrible team at home. So I give them credit for holding up with a beat up secondary in a game where the offense and special teams did them no favors.</blockquote>
