Considering he is a rookie and missed the entire pre-season, he is very impressive. Ten tackles, 7 solo. And these weren't Jay Foreman tackles as a general rule. He is a play maker from the SLB position - a first for this team. Cushing > Diles, and Diles > Greenwood. I see him potentially contending for ROY if he keeps improving.
This D is maddening, because if you take out 5% of the plays, they are clearly light years ahead of last year. They are faster, quicker, more agressive, nastier and more talented - yet since the preseason they have had a trend of going absouletely brain dead for at least a half dozen plays a game, and it's costing them huge plays. If they can clean those up, this D can keep us in games all year. They won't be great, but they don't need to be. They just need to be decent, and if they can clean things up, they'll at least be decent. But, if that trend continues of going brain dead, Bush's head needs to be on the chopping block.
