ISD freebie. Very nicely put together by ISD writer Bryan Driskell. They do great work over there and I suggest you check it out if you haven't already.

I love what Diaco said about Grace.

It's articles like this that pump steroids into my initially logical expectations and get me so amped every off-season.

Diaco's reaction to Grace is definitely out of character and reason for excitement. But they've got their work cut out for them in fielding a respectable, capable secondary against 2012s murderer's row.

I feel exactly the same. I feel like we have so much untapped talent on defense. I hope these guys come along and live up to their potential.

Diaco's reaction to Grace is awesome. I liked Counsell more before the season but the staff appears very high on Grace (Im aware they play different LB positions).

The secondary still scares the crap out of me. As does the inside linebacker core if Manti leaves.

Did anyone notice Shembo has not played much lately? I was saying this since day one, which made Slaughter drop down. Shembo doesn't have the range to play the dog. Shembo will be moved to cat and split time with Ishaq. Niklas and Councell will hold down the dog.

I threw up a little in my mouth every time I saw Shembo line up across the slot receiver. I do love him in a pass rush situation though and I don't want to seem like I'm giving him too hard of a time. DOG is a tough tough spot.

I was never that high on Shembo to begin with. Been thinking that for since Niklas started a game mid-season.

LOL... "Never that high on Shemboto begin with...thinking that since Niklas started." Well, which is is? Were you not high on Shembo since the beginning or since Niklas started a game? Way to cover your bases.

I wonder if Prince could be moved inside...Kelly says he is extremely versatile.

Hmmm... the comments on the speed and aggression and athleticism of Grace, Councell, and Williams.... maybe the space-coverage really is in the pipeline and coming on. Get them on the field with Manti next year, or, if he goes NFL, shift The Prince inside and let the athleticism roll. Speed and flexibility make up for a lot of blunders here and there --- mistake by one guy?; here comes the whole rest of the mob to clean it up.

I earnestly await the the day when an unleashed Aaron+Lou+Stephon so destroy opponent play integrity that RBs and QBs take athletic but unplanned routes, and are disturbingly confronted with the blurred forms of rapidly closing ND linebackers with severely bad intentions. Ah, the sounds of decleatings echoing across the stadium and on to the Golden Dome. The ghosts of Krause, Martin, Hart, Connor stir.....
