Yes but the defense wouldn't be as good if it didn't practice against our offense. And I think Drew pushed Vaccaro out of the way of a speeding train during the offseason. So without Drew we wouldn't even be as good on defense.

Ding: Offense

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.

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

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, 04:26 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
