"We have had contact every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday for obvious reasons. Our rush defense was going downhill and we felt like we had to tighten things up a bit. We improved in that area over the past few games and we want to keep on doing it. We are trying to get better at what we have been doing. Obviously with the injuries, we can’t experiment with the four-man front. Sometimes we change things up a little. We tackled better yesterday and that is one of the reasons we put on the pads, to get better at tackling."

Well it seemed to make us better Sunday
I remember the annoucers saying that during the game and both of them were surprised to see how we did against Turner. Big props to the coaching staff for making changes to get this team to improve. Now we just need to keep improving on that part as well. Way to make plays defense.

and an added bonus to practicing in pads
From Guru’s full fanpost on Shanahan’s press conference
On having no turnovers against Atlanta
"One of the reasons I thought we would go to pads was so we could practice getting at wide receivers and running backs, stripping the ball and creating more contact so we can learn to hold onto the football better. We put them in situations in practice that they are going to see in the games. Hopefully we can keep it going. We didn’t have a turnover in this game, which is a big positive. Maybe it came by practice or maybe we were lucky. Whatever it was it worked out."
