Re: Defense after 10 games
 

Our rush defence ranking has improved greatly against 2 strong rushing teams. If only they had shown up against the Jets we would be sitting at 9-1. Oh well, keep it up Who Dats!

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

Not bad, but we need to teach our secondary how to be receivers. They ain't as sharp as the 2009 gang. Those men had hands and cunning. Harper remembers how if he can just stay healthy.

Get well quick Jabari!!!

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

Unfortunately, Jabari is likely out for the year. I am a fan and believer of Corey White though. I think he can step up and be a productive player in Greer's absence.

All about points conceded and getting the ball back to the O
Praise from me: 10/10

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

I suspect when our offense gets to the point of efficiency(getting close but still making too many mistakes) that I'm used to expecting from it, that the defense will look even better.

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

playing some solid football. rob did call a good game. yes i just said that. tempered praise as it is.

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

Most of us said get us in the 18-22 rank range and we have a shot.Well they are surpassing that ad things stand.Id like to see a few more turnovers as they are dropping what look like eady picks at time.
Cant complain though

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

A-double-plus
got short-fielded by the offense and ST and still only gave up 20

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

Hey it's way better than last year. I'll take it

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

Harper? When did ol' brick-hands ever catch balls?
I love his ability to hit like a truck but he has no hands.

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

These are the ones I like to see

Steve Jackson - 45 yards 0 TDs
Vincent jackson - 77 yards 0 TDs
Matt Forte - 55 yards 0 TDs
Dez Bryant - 44 yards 0 TDs
Frank Gore - 48 yards 0 TDs

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

We have very quickly jumped to the middle of the pack in Rushing Defense.

Time of Possession #2 26:15 (3s from #1)


The forced fumble stats are odd because NFL.com is showing a lower number and ESPN is showing us tied with the 3rd highest number with 14

:jkool:

183 ppg?


Uhhhhh ...NO!

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

They rise to the occasion, so I guess they don't have to be pretty, just get the job done ... makes for exciting football, eh? :mrgreen:.

Defense after 10 games
 

I hear ya, but Harper has never been an INT machine.

Re: Defense after 10 games
 

The 2009 gang was the Darren Sharper show, he had no less than twice anyone elses INTs with 9. We ave 1.3 INTs /game. So far we are averaging 1 INT/game this year. With Lewis having 3.

If in the hands INTs wouldn't keep getting dropped we would easily be on pace with 2009.

The difference I see is that in 2009 we our d-backs didnt seem surprised when the ball touched them.. This season it looks like a hot potato.

Defense was in Beast-Mode yesterday. Game should have never been close, the Saints just kept giving them gifts.
