The MMQB: How has your defense been able to survive all the injuries and keep playing at a high level?

Foote: It starts with our coordinator, Todd Bowles. He has us in a scheme we believe in. We haven’t focused on the guys we’ve lost. I’ve replace [Karlos] Dansby; [rookie] Deone Bucannon is so flexible that he’s been able to replace Daryl Washington—he can play up or back. That’s the thing about a lot of our players on defense; we’re flexible.

I thought it was understood that the Ghost is the mainstay of the defense and needed no mention...

How can that be??? The ghost had more snap counts than Martin and Ta'amu COMBINED!

Kareem Martin - 6
Alemeda Ta'amu - 1

Kevin Minter - 8

I don't know if Minter was wearing rib protection, but he looked big enough to be lining up at DE.
