I thought defense

[Glenn Han <c987587@hc1424.mdc.com>]

I thought ML and KC were stressing defense, defense, defense
in mini-camp.  What happened to focusing on defense?!  Why
can't a team with young legs play defense?  Because it isn't
being coached to the players well.

As Cleveland shows it is defense that wins games.  They are
last in offense, but first on defense and are 30-23.  Defense
really is how you play as a team.  Team defense.
