There have been long drives but they give up so many big plays there hasn't been a need for long drives.

No argument here. Generally speaking, the majority of blitzes come from the LBs and ours suck outside of Fuji. I don't think a poster on this site would argue that. The safties are the only guys who have done anything on blitzes.

An interesting stat is we are 7th in firsts downs defensively - meaning our defense has not faced many first downs.

1 Baltimore 94
2 Pittsburgh 103
3 Tennessee 123
4 Oakland 137
5 Kansas City 139
6 Arizona 140
7 New Orleans 141
