Ding: Offense

So the defense practices against Drew or our Back Up Quarterback?

Creating and forcing turnovers, consistent pressure on the opposing QB, and stellar play from a constantly rotating defensive personnel has been key to this team this year. The offense is finally starting to click, but it is the defense that carried us through those first few games. They may be giving up long drives early, but Ryan makes the necessary adjustments to shut the opponent down. I am officially on the Rob Ryan bandwagon now.

We have room.

I'm going with the defense. Defense is why we fear Seahawks and 49ers. Plus we've seen the results of no defense with a good offense.

Obviously, you have to have both to win. But...if I was going to back up my answer, I would say: "You can have all the defense in the world, but if your offense can't score points, you lose...period."

I know its just semantics LOL... But

Which side of the ball is our most valuable asset right now?

73Saint · 10-01-2013, 03:26 PM

Drew and SP are the Head of this team. Offense.

I see the argument for defense. But if the O isn't scoring the we aren't wining the games.

I believe both are equal right now, both have made plays and set the game in stone without one or the other doing as good as they are right now we wouldn't be 4-0
