Are you kidding??

I distinctly remember 5 passes that should have been picked off.

And I don't eon't to know how many we have dropped this season already.

Prime example: On Monday night, the Giants fumbled the ball 5 times and the Saints only recovered one!!

I think the point of Greg Williams' D scheme is to be an all or nothing type defense. Remember, he was brought in to implement a defense that matched the offense? Before him, the offense was scoring so quick that the defense barely left the field, and they would completely wear down. Being so aggressive, they may create a big play or allow one, either way the opponent has to keep up with best offense in the league, and our defense gets a breather. This isn't supposed to be a ravens type defense, and stafford never throws for 400 if he isn't playing catch up the whole game.

If we can win by 14 points when we give up 400+ yards to our opponent, I'll take that every time.
