Now obviously both of them have different personnel, but here is a look at the stats for both of them.

After half way through the season, if you was to double McDermotts stats

(I know thats a bad way to do this but lets just say.)

I know alot of us was Ron Meeks fans last year, What defense would you rather have now?

do you think our record would be better with meeks calling plays?

Or do you like McDermotts Risky blitz defense better and why?

Fox played a big role in Meeks defense...and trgo

Stupid comparison with horrible grammar.

Stupid comparison with horrible grammar.

Grammar was never my strong suit

Stupid comparison with horrible grammar.

it's almost like he mixed cyberjag's posting with pantherclaw's

Not a decent comparison. That was Meek's second year in the same system. McDermott is on his first year with no offseason to install things. Plus Beason was a huge loss this year.

Lets compare McDermott's stats at the end of next year with Meeks stats for 2010 and then you have a decent comparison.

Otherwise go back and compare the first 8 games of 2009 to the first 8 games this year and you have a better comparison.

i'd love to see someone explain how a defense that struggles to get to the qb could do better with less blitzing and more responsibility to rush the passer on the front four, because that's one of the basic differences between the two schemes

[Razzy]

Last year, the defense really turned it on in the second half. This D will improve in time, but right now I feel they they are below last year's D.

You have to remember that last year's D looked really bad in the second half of every game simply because the offense could not stay on the field. This year, the offense is helping the D out quite a bit by creating some long drives.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I don't look at either of them as top end DCs though I think our biggest problem is a lack of overall talent (especially on the DLine) and depth.

[Yaboychris28]

Meeks had better players like Nick Haydan..

[Snake]

Time will tell about McDermott and you have to think that just maybe Meeks in waiting for McDermott to fail so he has his job back.

I wouldn’t compare anything this because we basically have a second team D out there playing every Sunday, and it shows lol.

[Marguide]

I'm happy with McD so far.

Our struggles on D have more to do with Hurney's decisions and injuries.
