Just some FYI... :gig:

Out of the 16 teams in the Eastern Conference...

LOD is 6th in fewest Tackles... :gig: (I take this as though we are stopping people..)
LOD has the 4th fewest Missed Tackles. :gig:
LOD is 4th in Hurries. :gig:
LOD is 2nd in Sacks. :gig:
LOD is 2nd in Sack Yards. :gig:
LOD is 1ST in Passes Deflected. :gig:
LOD is 13th in INT's. :sad: (Considering we are stopping people this one might not be all that bad.)
LOD is 10th in FFum. :sad:(I'll chalk this up to the Defense getting themselves off the field)
LOD is 4th in Rushing Yards Allowed. :gig:
LOD is tied for 4th in Rushing TD's Allowed. :gig:
LOD is 10th in Passing Yards Allowed.:sad:
LOD is tied for 3rd in Passing TD's Allowed.:gig:
While it would be good to be higher up on INT's & Forced Fumbles... considering we have limited chances with our Defense forcing teams to punt... 3 & out is almost just as good as an INT or Forced Fumble, IMO.... :gig:

Our next opponent will help us move up nicely in nearly all those categories...I fully expect to see negative total yardage and will be disappointed in the DC if they have positive yards. ;)

You & me both...

I guess having the harder part of our schedule in the 1st half of the season has been a big reason for those numbers...:sad:

I am actually quite optimistic for a number of reasons. Throwing out the windsor game since our offense just failed to show up, we have consistently put above average points against good defenses and held offenses to below average point totals. Even the WC game, where we gave up 27, they average over 30 even without Donaldt included. So we are above average on both sides of the ball and have arguably the best special teams unit in the league. If we could cut down on the turnovers, we would be smoking people badly.
