[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 468739, member: 1191"] Opponents points per possession is probably the best indicator. Third down D % is usually pretty good, but not infallible. My greater point is that the fanbase tends to cherry pick a stat and judge the entirety of the D based on that stat. Two years ago a large proportion of the poters here sore that if we could just get off the field more on 3rd down, our D would be fine and the Offense could carry the day. Last year we did great on third down, and got off the field a lot, only for our offense to give it right back. Then the fanbase started griping about the 2 minute defense. Ultimately, I'd rather us stick to OPPP or the S&P/DFEI as I feel it's the best overall indicators out there. [/QUOTE]
