[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 104569, member: 195"] I was thinking about starting a new thread on the topic of our D, but I think you hit the key points here, so I'll just add on. Imo, we really did make some significant improvement on D but it's hard to completely parse out looking at typical stats like yards/play and 3rd down conv%, although we've probably done better against worse offenses than we were earlier in the season. The key seems to be turnovers. We've gained 14 turnovers in the last 4 games, 10 in the previous 7, from .7/game to 3.5/game. This could be a function of the opposition; however, I think we have to say that a good chunk of it comes from a new aggressiveness and the emphasis being put on getting turnovers by Roof and his staff. The bad news on this front is that georgie is #2 nationally in turnover margin, they've only lost 4 fumbles and 4 interceptions in their 11 games, including 1 of each against Charleston Sou last week. I think turning them over will be tough but will be key if we can get it done. Yeah, it will be interesting to see what we can do with Freeman, Gotsis, Green, and Gamble. I think that front 4 with Nealy, Davis, and Marcordes may be able to get some of the stops we need. If we can pressure them to throw, Milton, Golden, and White have been playing really well. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
