A defensive stat that may surprise you

[jazzcat22]

the Dallas D has not allowed a WR or a RB to have a 100 yard game on them.

Is this true, someone just told me this.

Yes, it's true.

It sure looks right.

Looks like the highs against us both came in San Francisco. Hyde had 74 rushing and Kerley had 88 receiving.

Wow thats unreal. Pretty soon we wont be seeing all the posts about how miserable and pathetic the defense is.

 

[CowboyChris]

well that stumps me.

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. It takes a season of good to wipe off bad reputations around here.

Shocking! I'm not being sarcastic either. I wouldn't have guessed it.

Me either , as that is why I posted it and had to ask to be sure.

Is this the same friend that told you about the Mara/obj thing? You owe a punch for that one

That's the big one. We're 13th in points per drive (accounts for offense limiting how many drives the defense faces), which is an improvement over last year (17th), and we seem to be getting better with each game.

If the other teams is not scoring you usually win

Not necessarily. Just ask Campo and Zimmer about the early 2000's.

Kudos to the D, for being as unsung as they are, they have played really well. I doubt they can stop a great team like PITT, GB ATL or NE from putting up triple digit numbers, but we will see. For now I am pleased, and wont be upset if GB torches us. But there aren't many team that would torch us if the players keep playing at this level. Lets hope the O can score against GBs D. Its a winnable game, but it wont be a cake walk and the D will struggle comparatively speaking. Witha good Defensive draft and a FA signing or two, our D could be elite as soon as next year. Then the NFL is in trouble.

Our play in the secondary has been phenomenal -- and they did it with very little pass rush help in the first four games. We saw just how well they played yesterday with some help from their friends on the line.

The fact that we held the Bengals scoreless through 3 (Probably longer if not for the fumble) speaks volume to me about this D and the magic of Marinelli.

I notice when people talk about how bad our defense is they never mention that stat. That's impressive anyway you look at it. I'm not a Maranelli fan but you can't knock or disagree with how he has this defense playing.

Remind me again how many points that 100 million dollar New York Giants defense has allowed...........

Here's the best one, though: League ranking in sacks? New York Giants sitting firmly at 32nd. JPP and Vernon are KILLING it!
