Really? I think we're on the precipice of a minor defensive collapse. Look at the increasing number of rushing yards we're giving up each week, then factor in the Harris injury, Vash being slowed with a hamstring (or out). I hope you're right, but I don't like the trend I'm seeing here. Remember last year when starters began getting injured at the end of the year? The defense really started to suffer. I know we all remember Harris' supurb level of play early in the season but his play has trailed off since then (though I doubt anyone could sustain that level of play for the course of the season). He was still playing at a high level but he wasn't playing at a level where we'll suffer a total defensive collapse without him in the game. I'd also like to add that I'm not as worried about the run D as others are. The Bears still rank #5 in the NFL in rushing defense according to DVOA. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef.php We have a solid DT rotation, in any event and while I think this will hurt our ability to get to the QB, I doubt we'll see a major change in our defensive performance.
