Yet I remember that season well as I tracked the rankings. The move out Nick Perry Square on the field with Peppers on the other side. Even Parsons gets slack as a “bad run defender” which is totally untrue and you can see him right up until injury playing the Run really well. Heck he chased down Caleb on a run and literally saved what would’ve been a game winning TD scramble. Here Nick Perry was able to get FT work. That group took us from #21 ranked pre Bye Week to a #13 ranked Scoring Defense by Week 17. Do the math. If you’re 8 tests in averaging a D+ grade? What do you need to score on the next 8 contests to move to a solid B grade? A #5 area scoring D is the answer and that was one of Dom Capers bullseye moves imo.PS the reason I remember as I said we needed about a number 12 ranked defense to put us over the top. We ended up finishing that number 13 and we lost an overtime in the NFC championship game. I don’t normally get that lucky but a sliver better D and we were poised to go all the way.</blockquote>
