Defense Flying to the Ball

I have to say, I have envied teams like the Seattle Seahawks their fast-flying defensive backs.

If a guy is going to catch the ball, there needs to be a defensive back right on his back to make the immediate tackle.

We never had that.

Our guys are flying to the ball this year and (yes, there have been some whiffs and some missed tackles), but for the most part, there seems to be a sense of urgency when the ball is caught.

I like the hard hits and the immediate response from this rejuvenated defense.
