So I saw an article at the Herald today (by Karen G) in which Vince talks about the D. Some choice quotes:
Vince Wilfork & Co. vow defense will stiffen - BostonHerald.com
Excerpts:
I like this attitude. Obviously, attitude isn't enough, but I wonder if Sunday will be the beginning of a new vibe on defense?
My question to those of you who are long time fans with heads full of football memories: can a defense improve quickly, without "upgrades", through scheming, studying and force of will?
I think we've seen it in our offense this year. The thing is, our D has ONE game to show progress. They might be able to be soft against Oakland or Seattle (maybe) but this Sunday they have to show something, some kind of spark. Is there precedent or is it simply the rare stuff of Disney movies I'm hoping for?

Excerpts:
“We will improve,” nose tackle Vince Wilfork said yesterday. “Because if we don’t improve, we’ll be looking at a long offseason. But we will improve, I promise you that. If it takes extra time in the film room, extra time on the field, meeting time, walkthroughs, whatever it may take, we’re going to put the time in. I think everyone understands that. I know it will get better.”
“We know what we’re capable of doing in here, especially the defensive unit. I like it when people doubt us, because when we turn it around, and we will turn it around, they’ll be eating their words. We like it. It’s cool. It don’t get to none of us in here. Trust me.”
