Dorkington Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2011/opp.htm So far: Total YPG: 26th (387ypg) Pass YPG: 24th (272ypg) Rush YPG: 24th (116ypg) 25th YPC (4.7 ypc) 3rd %: 21st (41.2%) Pen Yds: 21st (181yds) Takeaways: 2nd (5 FR/4 INT/9 Tot) Are we back to the bend, don't break, defense? I'd love to see us come up with some more stops. We aren't getting enough of a pass rush. And I think our run defense has not lived up to the hype. Thankfully... we have a kickbutt offense, and our defense *is* getting some takeaways at timely moments! More optimistically: OPP QB Rtg: 14th (85.7) Adj Pass YPA: 13th (5.9) Edited September 27, 2011 by Dorkington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize with Brady you have to get him with a 4-man rush, but how do you not dial up blitz packages against Cassell and Campbell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 The biggest headscratcher for me has been the lack of aggression on defense. I realize with Brady you have to get him with a 4-man rush, but how do you not dial up blitz packages against Cassell and Campbell? I'm hoping things are just skewed by who we've played. Both Oakland and KC, I think, we were dialed into stop the run first. So less blitzes, and more stuffing the box. With NE, I feel like we rushed 4 all day and let 7 drop back into coverage. But how long will all the excuses hold up? We were lucky to come away with wins against Oakland and NE (note: I think we played well overall, but still got lucky). I want a defensive smackdown against Cinci. I want to see some sacks. Some tackles for losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
