Caught a bit of Seahawks v Chargers from week 7 last season on NFLN yesterday and Drue Tranquill was flashing all over the place. Such a good pickup. Our LB group is gonna crush souls this season.
He and Omenihu are both outstanding additions to our defense. |

If we finish between 8-14, we are easily SB bound again.
I would be happy with that. Just want more sacks. |

unlikely because we always seem to give up a lot of garbage time yards and points, and simply having mahomes inflates our defensive numbers

I'd simply be happy with not surrendering a ****ing touchdown every time an opponent steps one foot inside our redzone.
Shore that up, you got a scary unit. For whatever reason, once the opponent reaches our redzone, Steve just gets a big ol grin on his face, slaps his thigh with an " Aww Shucks" and just bends over and drops his little panties. I still laugh at his superbowl presser where he lamented not getting the opportunity to close out the game because the offense just ran all the time out. Shore up redzone and let the statistics be what they are. |

I haven't been this excited about our defense since 1998.

Interestingly, KC's defense was tied for 10th in points allowed last season.

His defense was top 10 in points in 2019.
Rank well in points or turnovers and a defense is doing its job in today's NFL.. |

Points, turnovers and 3rd down percentage--be top ten in those and the rest is gravy.
Get the opponent off the field and the ball in Pat's hands. |

At the end of the day, they aren’t everything but they matter a lot. Sacks straight up wrecked several on Cincy’s drives in the AFCCG. Pressure doesn’t stop guys like Burrow. Sacks do. |

mmm, I'm not certain, but I'm fairly sure that both INTs in the AFCG were the result of pressure in Burrow's face. Anyway, i think our defense might not be top-10 in yardage, not with the rules being what they are, as well as how every team plays KC like it's the SB. But if they can be a top-10 defense in scoring, 3rd downs and turnovers it'll be enough. |
