I know our run defense is awful, but I think we'll be alright. AP is unreal but Leslie Frazier is a bottom 5 head coach in the NFL. AP has also struggled(well, not struggled but he didn't have historic games lulz) against teams that are statistically worse against the run than we are.

People said this last week and how worried they were about our run D. So I'm going to say the same thing I did last week. Who cares? Worry about limiting turn-overs. We limit turn-overs we win. We turn-over the ball we lose. Let them get 200 yards rushing. If we get 500 overall it won't make a damn difference as long as we capitalize and score touchdowns. The only rushing yards allowed with I'm concerned with are those that come off of our turn overs close to our own redzone. They could get 60 all day, but if they all come off of pics in our own 20 yard line that's all they need to kills us.

There's like one team maybe not even one team that's worse than us

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
