They played well for 3 quarters.
The last quarter was embarrassing as shit. To let a professional QB get away with the crap that Lamar was doing is nonsense. |

Yeah, they let their WR get away with a push off or the ball bounce to one of their WR's in a much fortunate fashion. Let them do it....

You might be right, I just haven't seen any numbers to support the claim so I can't really argue against it. The run defense certainly looks different but the end result is extremrly similar to Sutton's defenses. |

A hold them under 30 D is all we need. I think the entire league, fans, media, everyone, knows if we can do that we are a near lock to win every game. I know it can be frustrating to watch at times but at the end of the day if they hold them under 30 that's all you need.

I'll tell you what this team does much better than last year's....
They cover tighter They blow up the screens, flares and stretch runs They collapse the pocket We have to stiffen up in the middle |

So I just looked over the numbers for the game, and was surprised that our defense actually played a fairly decent game overall.
Baltimore came into the game as the league's leading offense, and LJ came in as a 133.6 passer rating. I think we can ignore his stats in week ! against the 'Fins, and just look at his stat line against the Cards. 24-37 for 272 yds 2 TD 0 INT 7.4 yds/Att 104.8 passer rating 16 rushes 120 yds 7.5 yds/carry Today, Jackson's numbers: 22-43 267 0 TD 0 INT 6.2 yds/Att passer rating 70.6 8 rushes yds 5.75 yds/carry Jackson completed less passes for less yds, though not by a huge margin, but our D did not give up a TD pass, his yds/Att dropped by more than a yard from last week, and if you do include the Miami game, where his yds/Att was 16.2, we dropped him down by 10 yds/Att. And our secondary, in spite of some obvious gaffes and a couple truly lucky heaves, cut his passer rating in half, from 133 to 74. Baltimore as a team (Jackson, Ingram, Edwards,etc.) has averaged rushing 205 yds/game. Today, instead of giving up more than our opponent's average, which we've been doing for a couple years now, we actually only gave up their average, 203. And playing the Ravens is kind of like playing Army or Navy in CF. They run a crap ton, and their attack is like no other. We won't see another offense like them unless we see them in the playoffs. So, IMO, giving up just their average, particularly when our D has consistently given up more than the opponent's average for a while now, is a success for us right now. And let's be honest, everyone gives up a lot of rushing yards to these guys. And now the best part: our guys have only been playing together in Spag's scheme for a few weeks. That, people, is what we call progress. |

What we really need is to have a defense like Baltimore has. You know, the one that was down 30-13 after 3 quarters. The one that gave up 503 yards and 33 points. That's when we will be good! Yep. When our defense is as good as Baltimore's. Look out then.

So we held a team that averages 205 yards rushing to 203?

middle was rough today because of lamars ability to hit a home run on a read option. i can guarantee spags told the ends to never cross the tackles face or scrape down on ingram. tough to defend with his running talent.
