The most surprising stat for me at this point is the defense is second in net yards per attempt. That number is shocking considering all three of our "sucky" starting linebackers went down week one and we had 3 of our key defenders serving suspensions, and even our reserve linebackers were nicked up too. The defense is also ranked 8th against the run.

Hall Of Famer
Our 4th DE off the bench is a key defender

Jordan? Yeah he blows but if you polled finheaven before the suspension he likely would have been considered our 3rd or 4th best player on defense by the fans.
Tannenbaum's numbers would be good in 1991 but not today. Let's see 4,000 yards, 30+ TDs and a QBR north of 90.

Like I suggested earlier. Team is basically average everywhere. There is not a game winning aspect about this team. But the criticisms still irk me. I OPENLY WATCH 7-10 GAMES A WEEK. AND I SEE AVERAGE WITH STUPID COACHING EVEEYWHERE

Eager to see how Tannehill pulls off that .6 TD pass.
A throw to a defender in the endzone?

Is that where YOU would rank him?

No. I did have high hopes that he could push Vernon at the very least and that the staff had a plan to get him and Vernon on the field together more, and I think that is part of the reason the 5-2 formation was born for us.
Regardless though, I thought the defense would be OK, probably better than most on here and being ranked 2nd is a surprise even for me. It should be a heart attack inducing type shock for most on here, especially considering all the injuries to the LBers.
Put it this way: Our defense has made all of our opposing QBs look like Ryan Tannehill on average, that includes two hall of famers, and that is pretty ****ing amazing if you ask me.
The last point tells you why we lost the last game.

There's a lot I don't like about Coyle, but to be fair, I guess that he's doing a decent job overall with the available talent. This team has done okay defensively ever since Jimmy Johnson was in charge, but the offense was always the problem and still is. Hickey appears to be an upgrade over Ireland thus far, so hopefully the next HC will run a more efficient offense than Philbin.

3RD OR 4TH BEST PLAYER ON DEFENSE...I doubt it

I'm talking about before the season, I don't think anybody thought Jenkins would even play much let alone be a top 5 player on the team.
