Quote:I still don't think this defense is as good as the media would have you believe. Listening to 1010 you'd think that it's a must that we keep Todd Wash, but honestly I just think the defense improved in spite of him. We simply have better players. The idea that Wash is behind our huge reversal is misleading but even still I think with another scheme we'd be even better that's why I'm personally not afraid of letting Wash walk.


Just my thoughts!

Couldn't we do that for any defense? All defenses need good players. If the defense was ranked in the low 20's, ppl would be bashing wash for that, but it's #6 and ppl are still bashing him. We came into this year knowing we needed a centerfielder, a lock-down corner and more consistent 3 tech play as marks had been hurt 2 years in a row. Once we got those things, the defense was noticeably improved. You've created a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.
