don't look now, but this defense is forcing A LOT of turnovers
-
bbedward, ummm no. The defense gave up 19 pts(16 in regulation) and 17 pts(really 14...but whatever) against st Louis.
Pick 6's returned for tds do not count as "defense giving up points".
So what Im smoking is reality.....

Also held the Cards to only 119 yards rushing... 2nd lowest of the season by our D.
Unfortunately our Offense only produced 39 rushing yards... tied for our low of the year. McC had 18 of them.

the rushing yards don't concern me that much.....it's big passing plays that concern me, and we gave up too many to Cardinals. We gotta clean that up. But this is a passing league, and stopping the big passing plays is #1 goal on defense.

If defending big pass plays is your #1 priority then come out in a dime and play a deep Cover 3... problem solved.
Sure you don't want to give up chunks either by run or pass. The more you make an Offense work in a given drive, the more opportunities they have for making a mistake... be it in the form of a penalty, a turnover or a missed assignment. But if you play soft, focused upon not giving up the deep ball, then you simply cannot make it hard enough to string short passes together... not to mention runs.
Our posting a mere 39 yards of rushing should concern you.

The big passing plays are coming on 2 @ 2s and 1st downs because we cant stop the run.
We cant stop the run so we cant get into obvious passing situations were we can dial up pressure.
The main reason we getting more turnovers Is because teams and players don't respect the d and take more risks and get more careless with the ball. I mean if you know a defense was always soft as baby shit come the 4th qrt I would to. The thing that concerns me about this team is the lack of tackling. I have not seen such bad tackling only several games into a season.

our rbs suck. period.

If you have no running game its mighty hard to win games. McCown cant be expected to throw the ball 4 quarters and win games. This and the shocking run defense has been the biggest disappointment for me since we were meant to be building the future on a tough D Line and a running game.

our defense was really bad against the chargers pretty much the whole game. And the defense played very poorly for a good portion of the Oakland game. It was a blah defensive performance against the jets. A good defensive performance against the titans.
Our defense this year has been better than people here give them credit for. They aren't good, but that unit has played better than a 2-6 record imo. I think our offense has played to a 2-6 record.

i thought we were 2-5. Are you saying we already lost to the bengals?..Unfortunatly, i think we will be 2-6 after tommorrow...Only thing we can hope for is that manziel looks half way decent....
