They're allowing the same number of yards-per-play as last year: 6.1.



They don't have a good pass rush, with 6 sacks on the year. Considerably worse than last year, when they finished with 34.



They're on pace for 1 more turnover than last year, with a team turnover ration of -1(granted, quite a bit better than us).



Their opposing team's 3rd down conversion percentage(42%)is the same as our opponent's, and only slightly lower than theirs last year(43%).





Sorry, not impressed. Although I would say Marinelli is doing a solid job considering the kind of talent they have.

They are tackling better. Doesnt show up in the stat lines. They are being coached above and beyond their talent level. Haslett doesnt even know what that means, and he never has.
