defense not too bad

they give up yards, but at crucial times this unit seems to hit it right. The line definitely seems to put more pressure on the QB under butler and we're getting interceptions!!!

 

I agree. I'm feeling much better about them. Still have a little too many brain farts out there. Hopefully that can be improved.

 

We are doing great in the turnover department which as you recall we have not done in a few years

 

One thing I wasn't impressed with was how last week they went with a lot of overload blitzes and had that extra man getting pressure on Rivers, this week not so much and I think it would have led to more sacks and pressure.

 

AGREED. They called off the dogs a bit this week..

 

U hold cardnails to 13 pts, u have done well

 

Defense can be legit with a few extra pieces. Still have a question mark with Golson that hopefully we figure out what he's bringing to the table next season. Get a decent CB or safety in the draft or via Free agency and we could be really good

 

Robert Golden also played his socks off today. There was a lot of pressure on him coming in to the starting team, and I'll hold my hand up to admit to expecting a bit of a blood bath.

The worst culprit turned out to be Cockerill. If the PI in the end zone had been called... well, let's just not think about that now.

 

I just want to say we are 5th in points allowed with 18 ppg. We are 7th in rushing yards allowed. This all being with our Time Of Possession being 28th, giving the opponents more time to score. The top 4 defenses all have better time of possession, Jets T.O.P(6th) Minnesota(10th) green bay (16th) Denver(18th). Wait til Ben gets back and we can run even more time off the clock. Boom
