Combination of good defense and playing some shaky lines, but I'll take it. You can only play who's in front of you.

The defensive stat I'm enjoying the most, though, is holding our first three opponents under 20 points.

TO will come once our offense gets going and starts to score more points. Other teams' offense can play more conservative because they don't have to keep up.

The turnovers will come because QBs will make errant throws because the pressure. Plus some strip sacks.

If offense improves its points total it will also force opposing offenses to become reckless and one dimensional to catch up.

Offense just needs to score more TDs in redzone instead of settling for FGs.

Better execution and minimizing penalties is key.

D-Law left a sack or 3 on the table. In the first quarter he had jones dead on and missed him. I don’t know how he didn’t get him, in the second half he missed 2 also one before the second missed fg by the giants, had him wrapped up. Could have had 5 or 6 sacks. If Parson wasn’t held by 2 or 3 people he would have had at least 2. Some of the holds were bad and obvious. I can see teams trying to get away with it in the future..

23 I believe
Sacks are huge impact plays but pressures are mistakes makers. Jones hung in there and played well but lots of QB will make mistakes when they get pressured that much
Tank had a huge night.
Just having Parsons presence on a down night for him, Tank steps up big time and delivers.
Getting both in tune will result in some catastrophic mistakes by opposing offenses.

That's awesome yes but I bet we're near the top of the league in penalties again too!

We lead the league and sacks and pressures. But last nights game they were holding penalties not being called.

Yet the Giants had no sacks and very little pressure.

We had 3 holding penalties to the Giant's one penalty.

The league is totally biased against us and wants to see us lose.

And who cares about the sacks?

It's the constant pressures that are beautiful to watch. If you don't have a mobile quarterback, good luck against this defense.

I care about the sacks because they are negative plays, they can cause a turnover and can damage the physical and mental of the QB.

Sacks matter. Finishing matters.
