I’ve been such a big fan of good defense for a long time.
I remember the big hits with Dennis Smith and Steve Atwater as Karl Mecklenburg was seemingly causing havoc from every position on the front 7.
I remember being giddy when we signed Neil Smith and had Trevor Pryce on the same defense, helping the Denver Broncos to their first Super Bowl win.
Who can forget Al Wilson’s dominating presence in the middle of our defenses?
And my all-time favorite defense for the orange and blue: the No Fly Zone (hat tip to the Orange Crush, of course).
