[QUOTE="gtchem05, post: 771009, member: 4592"] I'm going to piggyback on that last point about the defense. I am not surprised that our defense hasn't improved in a number of statistical areas. The offense under coach Johnson was insanely efficient and held the ball for long periods of time giving the defense rest and fewer opportunities to be scored on. That masked the fact that our defense was really poor for the last few years of the CPJ era. I believe our team's ability to defend has improved somewhat, but it's not easy to measure because the offense still isn't as efficient as CPJ's were. We will probably never have as efficient an offense as we had under CPJ against some of the mid-tier teams that we don't play regularly - like our yearly alternating Atlantic division opponent, for example. However, I think because of the improved passing game, our new offense will eventually be better against some of the more talented defenses and give us a chance in some games that we could not compete in previously. I'm not trying to start any coaching comparison, just point out a reason why we're seeing what we are seeing on defense. I think this is the year we finally start to see some statistical gains on defense. [/QUOTE]
