and Jackson were excellent at doing this at the very least. Communication should be much better this year with Bell back, Stone 
and Rankins added and the youth in the Secondary having a year in the system.

Like I have said before, players like Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt just didn't forget how to play football. They will be watching
their tape and learning from what they did wrong last year. Angles and tackling were poor on their part. Logan was hurt and it 
showed big time. Don't know what Germaine's excuses are though...

As has been mentioned a couple of times, the biggest factor in allowing the LBs to play fast and loose again, will be eliminating the confusion in communication that was going on behind them at the Safety position last season. Not that upgrading the DT room won't help to improve rushing defense, because it certainly will, but in terms of overall performance having security in what is going on behind them will lead to the biggest production boosts for both Wilson and Pratt. (to my way of thinking, anyway)
