I am with those who say give GW a chance to fix things, and remember that he's made good Ds out of unknowns and castoffs before. I am not for jumping ship 2 games into the season. Here's my guess--against a suspect o-line and a QB who holds the ball too long, GW will blitz like crazy on Sunday. The D will "magically" look better, and one of our nickle guys will have an INT.

Players have to make plays--so much of the game is mental at this level. We have "lost our swagger"--it's time to get it back against the Texans, and then use that momentum to propel us forward.

But the offense has to make plays too--just like in 2004, if the D has no faith in the offense, it gets them down, and that's death to a D. We have to pick up some firggin thrid downs on offense. My guess is that will help us stop thrid downs on defense.

It's about confidence, toughness, and execution. It's not about the front office, IMO.
