As I head to Columbus early this morning, I am thinking about Ken Gordan's words in today's Dispatch describing our emerging defense.

"Just watch them play," Ken wrote. "See how relentlessly the defensive line pressures the quarterback. Observe the linebackers pursuing. Watch the cornerbacks turn and run with receivers stride for stride.

Most important, watch them celebrate together. There's something intangible about this defense."

Hmm. Think I wrote something below a couple of weeks ago about how you all could pine about the offense but I was enjoying watching this defense. If they can continue their growth today, and dominate the Juice, well, we are on to something special.

In Ken's column, he goes on to quote Doug Worthington..."We're a no-name team, but we're a hungry defense. When you have a front four with a hunger, that's eager and wants to play, and then you have guys who can cover, it gives you energy.

"It feels fun. Football is fun, and you can feel the energy."

I'm feeling the energy and I'm not even in the 'Shoe yet. Good luck guys!
