Is this good? This sounds good.

Agreed, was just pointing out the inaccuracy of the statement that we've allowed less points than any other team despite playing 1 more game.

This defense is legitimate regardless IMO, Losing Horn sucks but I have an odd feeling Bouye will return to form behind this rush.

I'd actually say our best defensive performance was against the veteran we played in week two.

Yes Winston and 2 rookies...the football gods have been kind!

If we can just keep playing rookies making their first start, we will dominate. 

The Saints offensive line is very good and Winston had just thrown for 5 TDs. 

Coaches don’t block, run, and throw the ball. 
 

That game was this defense’s most impressive so far. Complete domination on all levels.

How easily Cooks got open last night was very concerning though. Esp when we face better qb’s and wr’s than what the Texans have.

Are you comparing our yards based on our 3 games vs 2 games for the other?

If you read back you'll understand. An initial post stated that we've allowed the least points in the league, despite playing 1 more game than 30 of the teams. That isn't true. We have allowed the least points per game and obviously have the best defense in the league so far in pretty much every single metric.

Well we are playing most freshman and sophomores so it's a wash.

Sure, but they will have to face better qbs this season at some point. The d looks great though.

Of course they will, it's the way it goes. It's no different than every other team has to face.  You know the saying, if you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Right now there are only a hand full of teams that this team will struggle with. I will take that all day long with a rebuilding team. The future so bright I have to wear shades.

Also fewest points allowed in the NFL….and we’ve played one more game than any other team.

 

edit: may not be 100% accurate but do facts really matter in this day and age?

Facts don’t matter in this day and age. I did my own research.

i mean more of a test for Darold in playing in a game he needs to win for the team. right now he hasn't been asked to win a game. we may line up in a lot more empty back and te sets (which we did more last night in the middle of the game when he was getting a lot of heat). 

Can’t put this all on him…we have to find a way to run

and our run blocking has been awful

I think this defense can hold Dallas to 20 pts or less and give us a chance to win

I am 99 percent certain of that, I'd guess they score 13-17 and many here complain because we give up 300 yards for the first time this season.

Guys, let's have a lil' more faith in Phil Snow. The Texans actually to their credit had a very good scheme to counter the rush. Those delayed handoffs worked surprisingly well. Please believe Phil felt exploited last night, and KNOWS it's gonna take a hell of a lot more against the Cowboys. "Swapping" out Bouye for Horn for a while isn't an apples to apples thing by any stretch. If you think it is, you're fooling yourself. I hope you're ready Keith!!!

On one hand, stats show the panthers have allowed more points than other teams.

On the other hand Kay Adams said the opposite.

It’s so hard to know what to believe!

You do understand most of that was against a very soft zone and in a situation were teams typically soften up the coverage and Cooks had like 85% of Houston's total yards, AJ Bouye will help.

I will believe whatever Kay Adams says.
