You're right. We supposedly made some moves to improve the defense in the offseason and used pretty much the entire draft on that side of the ball, and yet we are hemorrhaging yards and points. Much worse than last year. So comparisons to possessions and points year over year is pretty much moot.
I should have left it at "we appear to be punting less which seems like a good thing."
