    Maybe it takes a variety of measures. There is no one measure that does it. It should be points allowed, rushing yards allowed, passing yards allowed, sacks, interceptions. forced fumbles. and the eye test to properly evaluate a defense.

    I wouldn't say it is all scheme and philosophy. Their interior linemen are getting pushed around at times. The inside linebackers are out of position too often. Jackson and Bishop are vulnerable in coverage. Those are real issues that would be there no matter who is coaching.

    You are comparing apples to race cars. They can both be read, but that doesn't mean the comparison is valid.

    But they are not the only way to evaluate the defense or offense. Using a combination of measures will allow you to not only evaluate what they have done, but also predict what they will do. Trying to put everything on just one measure when so many are available and useful is, at best, choosing to be inaccurate.

    Valid points. We all see splash plays and turnovers especially by Jackson and Bishop and assume they are doing great. You’re right they both have been beaten in coverage. Jackson can’t play press man and it causes us to be less aggressive.

    My fear with Queen is he isn’t instinctual and he lacks that leader beside him to best position him presnap like he had in Baltimore.

    But if she had one extra toe would that not ruin it for you?

    Hell no. LoL, and if she had extra fingers it might make it more of an incentive.

    That’s called inbreeding. Are they all crossed eyed as well ?

    Actually

    "VROOM VROOM" will get you slapped by your better half unless it's directed towards them.

    Also, "Take a bite of that Apple " goes along the same lines.

    Given the lack of pictures or names, I don't see any comparisons of women in bikinis or attired any other way.

    What I saw was you trying to compare the evaluation of attractive women to the evaluation of an NFL defense, implying that looking at anything but points allowed was as foolish as stopping to count the number of toes on a beautiful woman. If I misread your post, I apologize, but I don't think that is the case. I do not think your comparison is valid. That is why I took the questionable step of using another metaphor to the mix to illustrate the flaw in your comparison. That may have been too many metaphors. :shrug:

    What were were talking about again? :hmm:
