[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 362664, member: 1191"] Sorry if it came across as directed at you. I was simply replying to your post because I feel as if we keep moving the goal posts on this issue. When you say: "Being good on 3rd down is great, except when we're giving up 70+ yd touchdown drives without getting the opponent to 3rd down," that's an oversimplification. Sure, we've given up a few drives, but in many/most cases, those drives have been after our O has continuously failed to sustain a drive of their own and keep putting the D back on the field with short rests. On the whole, we are producing a lot of three and outs, or forcing punts/TOs as compared to years past. While we are not a great D, we are playing well on D. Well enough that we should be 7-1 right now. Even the UT loss hangs more on ST failures than D. I generally agree with you, as you rely on advanced stats and metrics to make your points, but on this, I think we need to focus on fixing what is killing us, and give a little grace to the ONE unit on our team that is showing marked improvement.
