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).

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
