[QUOTE="redmule, post: 45185, member: 1338"] It's somewhat of a symbiotic relationship. The better your offense, then the better the defense becomes as it has to practice against a good offense. And vice versa. You could easily make the argument that some of our offensive woes over the past few seasons was because the defense it was practicing against was not that good. The patched up OL in 2008 daily practiced against 4 NFLers on the DL. When they got to a game, it was easier to open holes, and Dwyer ran wild. With the DL problems we've had the last couple of years, maybe our OL wasn't as challenged in practice. I believe we are primarily an offensive team. We will live or die by the offense. With a better defense to practice against, the offense will be better. The defense may be hamstrung somewhat by practicing against the TO every day. But if we are primarily an offensive team, then the harm to the defense should be less than the benefit to the offense. That bring me back to my original post. Turn 'em loose, Ted. We're an offensive team. Anything we get from the defense is gravy. We expect the other team to score. We just expect to score more. Make it fun to play defense again. That will help recruiting if we lead the league in sacks and TFL even if we give up a ton of yards. Linebackers and DE's will be jumping at the chance to come. We won seven games with bad defenses, maybe we win 9 with a gambling defense. [/QUOTE]
