[Aaron Wolfson]

How could you not notice Eric Martin? :) He was the best player on defense,
I thought.

I also welcomed the sight of blitzes. That's been missing for a while.
Maybe it's a matter of player comfort level with the scheme and not wanting
to throw too much in too early. Blitzing does put some pressure on the
secondary because if they're out of position or make a wrong read, and the
blitz is picked up, that's trouble.
