This isn't that type of defense.

The 2000 Ravens were an all time great defense.

Brad Johnson wasn't exactly a slouch at QB. And that Bucs D was much better than this one.

A good defense prevents you from losing. Offense wins games. Can’t win without offense

SF has a SB defense but I still don’t believe purdy can win it for them

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread

Our defense is solid but it’s not a “Dominant defense” by any means.

Our LBs are average at best and the Secondary is good but not lock down.

With CY back I hope we can actually create TOs

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread

On paper this is a perfect scenario for CW to come back and play really well.

Yeah he’s been set up with BRob and Chase back. Logan Thomas healthier. Dotson more experienced and a defense that has greatly improved since he started last. And a better understanding of the offense.

He needs to take advantage of it and for god sakes earn that paycheck

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread

Of course if Wentz wins these next two games then Ron is going to keep him next year, even if he loses in the wildcard round. Makes the offseason complex, but I would rather win now and deal with that later

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread

If Wentz can stick to the quick passes and jives with the wide receivers quickly we might stand a chance. This o-line is not good enough to let longer plays develop.

That D Line is going to fucking eat. Garrett and Clowney may honest to God have 4 sacks each.

27-10 Browns

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread

Browns DVOA defensive ranking is 24th overall, for comparison we're 11th.

idk man .. im worried, they might be figuring their D out. They allowed 30 or more pts in 5 of their first 11 games. Since then ...

Won 3 of past 5 games, D points given up (and some of these might be off O turnovers returns for TD, idk)

17
3
23 (vs bengals)
14
17

--

We dont pass pro well

We dont pass pro well against pressure or elite edge rushers

Wentz doesnt avoid sacks and isnt a great "quick pass" QB

If both teams get like 7 possessions total ... it may come down to a last min drive by either team in a low scoring game

Sure they are playing better as of late, they're just not a great defense by any measure.

Concern with playing SF was legit (#1 DVOA defense), the Browns though? Eh

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread

A loss to Cleveland this week would erase any enjoyable parts of this season from my memory. This has to be a W.

Dream scenario…
Somehow Howell is forced into action, and we make the playoffs. Howell looks awesome and we win at least one. We sign a cheap backup and Howell is the guy. We draft well and pick up a key FA or two. Revamp and solidify the oline. MLB , CB, S all addressed. Wentz and Taylor leave town. The end.
