There was like 3 in the san diego game, at least two over 50 in the first n.y. game, and we also gave up two long runs to tatum bell in the denver game, both for t.d.'s. we can really improve our run defense.

If my memory is correct (which is about 50/50) most of those big runs where on the outside and not up the middle which you cannot blamme the DT for. If we realy improve our D as you suggest man people better watch out. I would be happy with some improvement because we have been so strong the past couple of years.
