i thought we'd have big problems stoppoing the inside run with bruschi and johnson out of there and phifer cut. in patriots d the ILBs have to fill the correct hole or there's nobody left but the safeties to stop the play.Krugman said:In word,yes.There has been steady improvement,no doubt about that.It doesnt have to the best D,just decent,then we have a chance..

I think our D and our play are not just better than before the injuries, but better than at the start of the season. Our problems were more than just injuries. We hadn't gelled at the start, and we had people who were playing as starters who didn't belong (Starks, Brown, Biesel...). We won against Oakland, but we seemed to be sleepwalking. Our problems were there before all the injuries, they just made them worse. We seem to be past those problems, and getting the injured back is only gravy.
