Tied w/ Indy for most points allowed

163 points.

Technically, you can say we're worse than Indy in this category because their defense has had 410 plays against them to get those points versus our 345. With 65 more plays who knows how many points we'd have given up.

Edit: Also, we are tied with them for the 28/29th spot for most points per game.

Clearly, something is horribly, horribly wrong with our D besides injuries. We weren't this bad last year. Surprising considering Rivera was a DC.

Even Jake Delhomme is ashamed of our Defense.

Forcing turnovers is the biggest thing. It does so much for the O and the D. A lot of defense are not that great in terms of personnel but are able to get turnovers.

Oh for sure... this is a huge problem.

But making defensive stops can eliminate points from turnovers. For example... we had the Falcons in a 3rd and 12 and gave up 20+ yards on a key drive that ended in 7.

It seems like we are trying to play zone defense but sucking at it. When I watch our defenders, it looks as if our guys are moving in slow motion to the ball or stopping a play.

So much for an attacking defense. :(

technically you can say that St Louis, Denver, and KC are all below Indy and Carolina since they have had a bye week and are giving up more points per game

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
