Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 33243, member: 628"] Look at 2001, and then look at the 3 years of Marrone (ignore the 4 years of GumpRob, they never happened, OK, just like Rocky V, they NEVER HAPPENED!)... We were able to thrive in '01 with minimal offensive production because we had a defense that not only was good at stopping opponents, but was a turnover creating machine. I think Freeney had double-digit forced fumbles that year, along with double-digit sacks. THAT was the kind of team where you can play conservative on O (hand to Mugro, tell RJ not to turn the ball over, later, rinse, repeat) and let the D give you short fields. In other words, I don't know what Marrone sees as the future of our offense (kinda weird that we're in year 3 and I have to say that) but it can't be some dink-and-dunk, 19 PPG crap. [/QUOTE]
