We lost that leader when Swearinger went to the NFL, Swearinger was the heart and soul of that defense and that's why we struggled so much at the beginning of the year on defense.

Swearinger was that natural leader from the secondary and played with the type of brash confidence any great leader does.

That is incorrect.

Swearinger was the mouth piece, a hard hitting fearless guy who too often played a little too recklessly.

Shaq Wilson was the blue-collar guy in the middle and the QB of the D. Losing Shaq hurt far more than losing DJ.

The guy I am hearing who may step into that role is Moore - but he's a blue chip guy with a blue collar work ethic. Those are the rarest of the rare players. Marcus Lattimore will always be the epitome of that class of player IMHO.
