I think its kind of a schematic thing, example being

Lets send 7 guys to get into Thad Lewis' head and hit him around in the first, then in the second half lets show him 7 guys are blitzing but only send 4, make his memories of the first half force him into early throws and mental errors

Rob has done an awesome job with this D, 6 out of 7 opponents have scored only 17 or less against us

I think I missed 1 of the 8 games??

I like this; 4th in the NFL with rocking 17.1 points given up per game. Ain't nobody should be complaining about that.

I do have a concern about how his defenses traditionally struggle in the second half of the schedule each year, though. In fairness, he was at CLE, OAK, and DAL, so he has the luxury here with Payton & Brees. Last year he did have all those injuries to deal with, but a good overall scheme and good in-game adjustments are what separates terrible/bad/average/good/great DC's. We simply need an average and above showing from Ryan and we'll be set.
