Being ranked #1 in Total Defense in preseason can be a harbinger of good things

Historical preseason stats are a bitch to find, but Baltimore and Minnesota were the top 2 defenses in terms of total yards last preseason. Baltimore went on to finish 3rd in Total Defense in the regular season and Minnesota finished 6th.

I think just finishing the regular season with a Top 10 defense would be a huge victory for this team and a great surprise. Hope it happens.

the mark of a good coordinator is the ability to always maintain or improve defensive performance overall even after an exodus of talent (even though i don't think some of the players we dropped were that talented anyway).

this is by no means an endorsement for Meeks as a head coach

I just listened to Jeff Fisher's post game press interview....he gave no credit to our defense at all. When asked about their lack of offense production he says they didn't game plan and we had a lot of blitz packages that they could have done something about, yada, yada, yada. I thought normally in the 3rd preseason game there was normally a small bit of planning done to see your team in as close to regular season mode as you can get in preseason. I believe most teams do game planning some in the 3rd game unless you lose and then you just say you didn't game plan to the press to get them off your back.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
