I have been tough on the defense this year, and I think they have given up too many points to teams with really bad offenses (Tampa, 2 games against Denver)....but I think they are starting to hit their stride.
Also, winning at turnovers really, really helps this defense more than most. Keep the number of posessions that the opponent gets really helps. Saw it today--the Faiders had two turnovers, we had none, and on the drives where the Faid did move the ball against us, we made them use up large chunks of clock and come away with either nothing (turnover on downs) or a FG (8 minute drive in the 3rd).
It was just really good to see them give up less than 20 points today, especially after letting a really bad Denver offense carve them up for 28 and 24 points this year (two highest point totals the
have had)
