Based on total D, we were ranked 2 after 1 game and dropped to 5.

Just like last year, our D had TO's in the 1st game and then lost it. Hopefully we pick it back up but they can only do so much when you O keeps turning the ball over on downs.

I stated that I was worried about our passing coverage being a possible problem after watching the Broncos preseason game. Plummers wr's were dropping them and it wasn't because we were shutting them down. Our strength is up front and not past 10 yds. It was evident against the Jags and then yesterday.

I don't care where they are ranked.
All that matters is that they are able to keep the team in the game. That's exactly what they have been doing.
As long as the offense doesn't manage to put more than 10ppg on the board the defense can do whatever they want, it won't matter.

Yep, the only stat that's important to me is the scoreboard.

If you were a defensive coach and could keep a 13 ppg career average, you'd be on the way to the hall of fame.

Considering they have to work with Wire, the D has held it's own and then some...

You have reason to be worried, if our DEs dont get to the QBs, Brady and Pennington will pick our secondary apart.. two loses in the East would be devestating..

Wire will get victomized.
