Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 73431, member: 405"] I feel a lot more confident in the play on the defensive side of the ball this year. I'm too lazy to look up the stats nationally, but I'm pretty sure that even though the defense is young and is playing lots of guys, and lots of key people like Chandler Jones have been hurt for half the season, is still doing a lot better than the offense, which was supposed to carry us this year. We've given up lots of long passes with the injuries in the secondary, but we haven't been vulnerable to runs up the middle like we were afraid coming into the year. Our young DTs have been pretty good against the run, even if they haven't been able to provide pass rush. Meanwhile, the run blocking is among the worst in the nation, and the pass blocking is putting Nassib under lots of pressure, after he had such a good start to the year. The past 3 weeks, we've only scored 21 once, and were held in the teens the other 2 times. [/QUOTE]
