Why do you say no way? Defense went from the bottom to #4 in Ryan's first year.

I agree with the #4 ranking but even being a 4th ranked D that year they didn't look that good as a whole. Rankings are overrated to me anyway. As long as we can field a stout D this season I'll be happy. I don't care where we rank.

Turnovers are about the only stat that directly translates into wins.

How can I argue with that? The 2009 season tells that. I loved that season.

I would say points scored is a more important stat both for the offense and defense. If the opponents offense can't score then we can't lose.

I'm drinking the Kool-aid...

My cherry flavor is still in the pack, for now. It's next to the spoon, glass and water just in case.

I think our guys are a bit new and haven't been working together as long as RR defense. We had a lot of veterans. It was also kind of an anomaly that year. Improvements like that are rare.
