What got you here...... won't get you there.

Since we are all being honest here:

1. Yes Sharper was the golden child. (may still be)
2. We have NEVER been a shutdown Defense. 2011 "27 th in league for points allowed" (more times than not "5-8" teams scored at least 20 points on us), 2010 "7th in league for points allowed" (more times than not "9" teams scored at least 20 points on us), 2009 "20th in league for points allowed" (more times than not "10" teams scored at least 20 points on us)... We have always been able to overcome that with our high scoring Offense. So our Defense is on par except for take TO's. Actually this year except for interceptions we are on track with 2009.
3. The run has always killed us.
4. We do not just have some slightly weak spots in our Defense, we have glaring weaknesses that opponents capitalize on.
