Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 1222691, member: 78"] i agree that our run defense is strong i didn't say d coaches play to be down. i said they get fooled into thinking bad offenses are tolerable. everyone wants to be great on both sides, ideally if our d philosophy is to put teams in obvious passing downs, we should be concerned because we aren't doing that well in yards per attempt defense or in passer rating defense (104th) we are really bad on 1st down pass defense. 97th in rating. we are 122nd in passer rating defense on 2nd down the problem with that defensive philosophy is that first down and second downs are passing downs now. we sell out to stop the run, teams get a lead passing on first and second, then sit on the lead and we delude ourselves into thinking the defense is good [/QUOTE]
