Manning didn't ruin anyone's confidence. Gunther brought confidence back to the defense, which mauled Manning the first half of our game last year. The one where we beat you. By 10.
But our defense was averge as far as talent, and just dog-d!ck slow at LB and piss poor at CB. Then you add injuries and they just never improved.
Our defense was confident enough to play well for 2 or 3 quarters, but almost never for the whole game, and definitely not for the course of the season.
When you've tried every scheme and coverage under the sun and the guy playing opposite Warfield get's burned EVERY third and long...no, our CB's were what made the team doubt.
