Greatest in the history of the NFL .....right.

They really need to step it up a few notches this week. They should perform well against a very mediocre Dolphin team.

It's okay, Gray is a defensive guru.

JP is a terrible DT and he can't stop anybody on 3rd down.

JP is a terrible DT and he can't stop anybody on 3rd down.

in a way, it is JP's fault. Most of the yards against Atlanta and Tampa came late in the game because we got killed in TOP and the Defense got tired. If the offense could have held on to the ball longer, it would have
a)given opposing defenses less opportunities to get yards
b)kept the D fresh so they may have been able to stop someone in the second half.

I'm not saying the offensive struggles are all JP's fault because the O-line has been terrible. But the offensive woes are a big reason why the defensive numbers look so bad.

Hmmm, so last year when our D ended up #2 despite us playing pretty crappy on O through most of our games until the run at the end, they didnt get tired but this year they do. Interesting, maybe they need more gasers!

Ohh you cant be talking about the D, they manage to have enough energy for the 1st 2 dowsn but then magically get tired on the 3rd downs. Your right, its JP's fault.

umm,actually they did. Remember the big plays by Jacksonvillle and Oakland at the end of the games? The D completely shut them down except for 1 or 2 fourth quarter plays. Even one sustained drive by the offense would have taken 3-4 minutes off the clock and kept our D from ever even being on the field that late in games.

Re: defense

We're they "gassed" when they let Dunn get a 60 yard run just before halftime? This D does not deserve people making excuses for them. They have been terrible outside the Houston game

Re: defense

Against NO, three of the Saints' first five drives were for scores. They had three drives that were longer than six minutes; one was in the first quarter and another was the first drive of the third quarter.

Against Atlanta, the Falcons' first two drives of the game were long ones for touchdowns.

The problem is not that the defense is tired; it's that it isn't very good. It earned its reputation as a playmaking turnover defense, but it can't stop the run.
