How does this team compare to last years?
Obviously the passing game speaks for itself. Enough positive cannot be said for Drew, Moulds, Price, Reed, Centers, and Moore!
But what about the rest?
Last year we had the 21st ranked yardage D. This year we currently have the 25th and have allowed 28 more ypg on avg.
Last year we had the 29th ranked scoring D. This year we're allowing almost 10 ppg more than last season and we're ranked 32nd.
Last year we had the 13th ranked passing D. This year we currenty have the 21st and are allowing more than 32 ypg more passing even though we've supposedly upgraded our secondary.
Our rushing D is about the same as it was last year and hasn't improved much at all.
Last year our rushing offense was ranked 22nd and averaging over 105 ypg in spite of having to throw in most games due to being down. So far this season we are ranked 27th and averaging over 26 ypg less than we did last season in spite of having a totally prolific passing offense such as we didn't know last year, to open up the running game.
The only improvements so far this season have been in STs which is not playing well, but simply playing average and not giving up nearly as many big plays and field position as it did last year. Couple that w/ the obvious improvement in the passing game, and that's it!
After that, it appears that we've regressed quite a bit!
What's the explanation for this? I mean, afterall, we did upgrade our secondary, our OL, and LBing corps, no?
Coaching anyone....?
