Absolutely huge (and aided by the offense and special teams with the lead they built!)
SF can give up all the completions in the world, but a strong run D means the game can stay in…
Elite defense.
I would not go that far. Not yet. Time will tell, however. Can Saleh build an elite defense out of the current lineup of defensive youngsters? Yes, he can. Will he? Time will tell.
Yes, our offense influenced Card's play selection. Forcing 3 turnovers was the big story for the defense yesterday.
