[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 484043, member: 2299"] Compared to last year we are... Fwiw we are facing almost the exact same number of plays defended this year as last. 5.7 ypp this year compared to 5.52 last year. 362 ypg this year compared to 354 last year 28.2 ppg allowed this year compared to 26.5 last year. 1.44 sacks per game this year compared to 1.55 last year 4.33 tackles for loss per game this year compared to 4.27 last year. 4.25 yards per rush this year vs 4.53 last year. 7.2 yards per attempt given up this year vs 6.6 last year 2.2 turnovers per game this year vs .9 last year 48.1% third down defense this year vs 30.9 last year. 5.2 points per red zone attempt this year vs 4.3 points last year. (in general we get more stops but give up more TDs as well) 4.33 red zone attempts per game vs 3.27 last year. 2.2 passes broken up per game this year vs 3.2 last year 2.8 hurries per game this year vs 2 last year. 4 punts per game forced this year compared to 5.2 last year. 3.2 20+ yards plays given up this year vs 4 last year. In general we are way better at creating turnovers but worse at most other things and significantly worse on third downs. That leads to us having significantly more redzone defenses and being significantly worse at defending them. To put it this way the extra turnover per game likely is worth about a 7 point swing but the extra redzone attempts and the worse defense when there almost certainly negates that. Otherwise we aren't giving up more big plays like people feared but are also not getting more sacks like people thought. In general we are only slightly better at tackles for loss than last year (to the point where it is maybe one more per year, yes year not game). Overall I know people are happy with more turnovers, and for some that is enough, but in the grand scheme of things this is a typical Johnson defense. And that's not a good thing. [/QUOTE]
