I don't normally make these threads, I actually loath them.

But, I just took a look at Defense rankings.

Houston Texans #1 in yards per game and #2 in points per game.

Huh? They were absolutely atrocious last season.

Hired Wade Phillips and moved to a 3-4.

If they can make this massive turn around in one season, why can't we?

We would have to dedicate our entire draft to defense to make the change, but I think its possible.

Again, I am sorry. I just can't help it when I saw the Texans.

Also, how much of this comes from the fact that the Titans are a top rushing team.

Wade knows how to call a 3-4, and I'm not sure McDermmot does. At least well enough to pull a Texans turn around. I'm fine with the 4-3 if we get some playmakers. We need to hit on every draft pick this year. Marty needs to lean on the talent evaluaters and avoid stupid ass trades. This is a HUGE draft for us.

Please do not use stats without context. They are meaningless. You need to take into consideration the efficiency of the offenses these defenses faced in order for those numbers to actually mean anything.(strength of schedule..not last year's but this year's as it unfolded)

They don't mean anything when you just state that. I'm working on trying to get a more accurate measurement on where our both offense and defense ranks. It will take some time.

That's why there is such a HUGE difference between last year and this year. Strength of schedule of offenses and their own offense's performance(yards per point when you put those two together).

      Well done, MHS. I'm out in Seahawk country and they've been a fun team to watch. Hired their coach the same year as us, but went defensive minded. Fumbled the OC in year 1 but came back with a helluva hire this past year.  I basically want us to find our versions of Ernest Jones IV, Byron Murphy II and Emmanwori. DB is our Leonard Williams, but he needs a partner. I think Lloyd in FA can be our Jones and I don't know where to begin with Emmanwori as he and Hamilton are 1 of 1.  I also like the way they use a lot of 13 personnel and just grind teams into the ground on both sides of the ball. Give me Otton to add to our TE room who I'd have to think Canales and Idzik have an eye for.  Center and OT are our biggest question marks. I think R1 is OT and grab the best center on day 2.
