I've always hated averages out of context. The Bucs have the 3rd best defense but they're 0-7. I really would have liked to see us not get gashed by the run so much. Maybe I'm reliving last week, but the teams up next are ones who run with authority and who are not walking MASH units.

Rob Ryan had the 3rd ranked D in Oakland one year and they sucked. You give the team short fields all the time, you don't give up nearly as many yards.

(3rd ranked in yards, not points, but that's all NFL.com seems to care about...for some reason.)
