7.0 yards per passing attempt in the last 8 seasons. (at 6.9 YPA).

The pass defense ranked 12th overall in Yards per Attempt which was the highest the defense has ranked since 2008.
I know I heard someone say they only allowed like a couple of 100yrd rushers, this defense is going wayyyy under the radar and I love it. Means we can go fro. Here to here in a matter or weeks..if you know what I mean..

No doubt, the orphans are exceeding expectations. May they continue to fly under the radar.

I'm really happy with how the defense has evolved this year. Especially with the emergence of David Irving.
He has always been a jump of the screen guy with his size. I'm more impressed with guys like Collins and mayowa even jack Crawford has improved greatly at his position..

Wow. This defense just continues to surprise me and impress.

Gonna need their best showing these next 3 games.


The good thing is we play 1 less playoff game than 2014 and the defense we are bringing is A LOT better than the 2014 defense.

Rodgers could still have a big game if we play him but I expect a lot more resistance this time around.

We actually didn't allow any RB to rush for 100 yards all season, which is another pretty decent little feather in this defense's cap.

Yeah, i think we'd be in a lot more trouble with Irving given that we can't seem to keep any of the other DEs on the field.

Nope, not a single individual 100 yard rusher against us all year
Oh OK. So there were tandem 100 yarders.

Not complaining, just gotta get my head straight.

Thanks, my man.

Funny, we play a two deep zone, hit 6.9 YPA, yet during games, all you read are fans wanting Carr and Scandrick gone because receivers are wide open every play.

its true. The bend don't break D can be aggravating at times, but the end results speak for themselves. Especially when the pass rush is starting to show up big time.

Correction: we have fans who think the other team should never complete a pass, and when it happens they blame the first guy they see on the TV screen (who may or may not have even been responsible).
