I keep hearing how aggressive Greg Williams would make our D be if he were our D-coordinator, so I decided to look up each team's defensive rankings for this regular season, and I chose the 2 most important ones, scoring D, and takeaways....pretty interesting results came up
note: Zimmer's 1st year calling 3-4 defensive plays, and starting 2 rookies and 2 1st year players all 16 games, as opposed to Williams 2nd year running the Skin's 4-3, w/ only 1 1st year player starting all 16 games
Washington Commander's scoring D, 2005:
18.3 ppg allowed, gave up 32 TDs
Dallas Cowboy's scoring D, 2005:
19.2 ppg allowed, gave up 35 TDs
Commander takeaways, 2005:
28; 16 INTs, 12 fumbles
Cowboy takeaways, 2005:
26; 15 INTs, 11 fumbles
Commander's total defensive ranking: 9th
Cowboy's total defensive ranking: 10th

so is Greg WIlliams that much better than Zimmer?
