Its not deceptive and while I can hit a moving target, it is a little more difficult, but I can still hit it.

They were still the 25th ranked defense in yards and 20th in points allowed in 2009. Russell Wilson put up 310 yards and 3 TD passes on them. Our defense of 2009 was opportunistic, not lock down.

You were happy with last seasons defense weren't you? 24th in turn overs.

What is your focus? Yards, points, turnovers...

I do believe we forced a turnover yesterday.. no? The original statement was that we couldnt win in the playoffs with out a defense. Yes we can.

Not saying the 09 defense was better, just a turn-over machine and that helped us win.

2010 and 2013 defenses were far better than 09'.

If I had my choice for the defensive focus it would not relate to turnovers. Lock them down and make them earn every inch, turnovers will come.
