Detroit has the best run defense in the NFL

[TwoDeep3]

Dude is always butthurt and always wrong.

Yes. Wrong. As in wrong when he said build the offensive line the last several years.

Wrong in how he said things like, build the defensive line and the pass defense will be better.

Why is it some of you exaggerate the facts to put someone down on this board.

One last thing. I believe butthurt is a vulgar label of something disgusting, and people who use it have a sketchy hold on the English language. But I could be wrong.

Wow nice asskissing to the max here. As for all the things he said about building a oline and dline EVERYONE! was saying that. You didn't need to be an expert to figure that out. He was wrong about the the coaching staff, how the Cowboys would fare this season, wrong on the 2nd Eagles game, the Colts game, Demarcus Ware, several other things but you've got your lips so far up his *** that you wouldn't notice. The guy thinks he's some expert on all things football and he isn't even close!

Oh and one last thing. Get rid of that tacky sig it's annoying as hell much like you.

You stated he was always wrong. I'll let your exaggeration stand on its own.

I know that I cringe when I hear that specific term.

Unlike Galian Beast's mistaken claim (passing efficiency has been proved to be the reason teams win, not a result of teams winning), YOU are mistaking cause and correlation.

Teams run more BECAUSE they are winning. Given a lead, especially late in the game, teams run the ball more and add to their total carries and yards. Teams that are trailing, especially late in the game, pass the ball more, so they end up with fewer carries and yards. That's why looking at totals -- total pass attempts, rushing attempts, total rushing yards or total passing yards -- is meaningless if you want to know why teams win. You have to look at efficiency stats. And those have been proved to be far more important for passing than they are for rushing.

We certainly didn't stop us from running the ball against the Rams even though we were behind. So Dallas went against the grain and ran the ball even when they were losing?

We are 13-2 when Murray runs for over a 100 yards. Emmitt also had those same stats which running for over 100 yards correlated to winning. So doesn't it make sense for a team to run the ball in order to reach a hundred yards rushing in order to better the odds of winning?

 

[Galian Beast]

Um, my entire premise is that YPC is NOT an important factor.

So then you agree with everything I've said?

You're conflating YPC with success running... Not the same thing.

 

[cowboys1981]

I can see Beasley having a big game exploiting the middle of the field like Cobb did.

 

[xwalker]

You've made two errors here:

a) You've confused correlation with causation
b) You've made a straw man argument.

No one said that YPC is an important indicator. Rather a team's ability to run the ball successfully can create a difference in how defenses play against an offense.

Example:

Team is averaging 5 YPC in the first quarter. As a result the defense on the opposing team then stacks the box with 8 players for the remainder of the game. For the remainder of the game, the team averages 3.2 YPC, but because there are 8 defenders in the box, the offense is now able to become more productive in passing the ball. The team wins.

The lower rushing stats don't suggest that the running game played a factor, but in reality they did.

You are disrespecting his authoritah. You are supposed to acknowledge that you are wrong because he said authoritatively that your are wrong.

Fairley is out as well. We're running for more than 70 yards.

For those who didn't hear, Fairley practiced yesterday. Looks like he'll be in for a few plays on Sunday

That's the bad news.

Here's the good news. I heard this morning that Murray has had 7 or 8 games in a row where he has rushed for over 100 yards against the same type of defense that the Lions use.

Why bad? I thought we had an above average OL. Guess not.

Don't know why Fairley playing is bad news. He hasnt played in months. If anything, the Lions are prepping him for the divisional game. That's if they advance...which they won't

Because it gives Detroit another big body at the line of scrimmage.

Doubt he's in tip top shape to be anywhere near effective. Doesn't matter if he's a big body. He'll play a few plays max

Well, obviously the Lions blog page says their run d will be better than our run offense. Big shock.


Cowboys run offense (2nd) vs. Lions run defense (1st)

And here's the matchup of the game. The Cowboys running game has been the staple of their offense, outgaining the defense's YPG allowed in 12 of 16 games this season. Interestingly enough, however, Dallas has outgained YPC allowed averages in just eight of 16 games this year.

The Cowboys rank t-third in YPC (4.6), but 20th in rushes that have earned first downs (20.9 percent). The Cowboys run offense is effective, but it is not quite as efficient as most people think.

Leave it to the Packers to ruin a completely perfect column. Still, the Lions actually managed to hold the Packers well below their YPC average last week, the 14th time they've done that this season. The Packers remain the only team to have outgained their yardage average against the Lions this season.

Detroit ranks first in YPC allowed (3.2) and first in rushes allowed that earn a first down (16.9 percent). Despite one mediocre week, the Lions' run defense is still dominant.

Player to watch: Ndamukong Suh. I'm not sure if you've heard of this guy, but he's been in the news a little lately. I hear he's pretty good. You'll see plenty of him this week, regardless of how he's playing, because this is FOX's theme song for Suh:

Advantage: Lions +0.5. The Lions run defense is the best in the league. (even though they have faced only 1 top 10 NFL rusher all year)

The Cowboys may have a formidable run offense, but they aren't quite as efficient as they've been leading on. I don't expect the Lions to completely shut them down, but don't expect a 200-yard day from DeMarco Murray.

Actually Dallas run defense was the best in the league in December. Colts 1 yard rushing lol when did Detroit do that.

Detroit hasn't faced a OL or rushing game like ours yet. On the other hand Dallas has faced some of the best DL and defenses all year and still ran the ball effective.

Detroit rush defense is smoke and mirrors, watch the games and not look at stays

yeah I saw that Dallas only gave up 53 yards per game on the ground in December. Impressive but yeah, Colts 1 yard rushing will help that.

Thats only 200 yards in 3 games basically which is around 65 yards a game if you take it the Colts game. Still great though

They be forgetting one Tony Romo.
