I hope we win. I really, really do.

But I have seen nothing from Malleveto this year that shows me they know how to ready a team for any offense of any flavor.

That's what I'm saying when I say one dimensional.

Just focus on stopping the run.

Well, WR Demaryius Thomas does have 36 receptions for almost 600 yards - almost 16 ypc. We can cause problems through the air when we need to, but obviously running is our bread and butter.

I didn't realize it was the rant that decided that our D sucked this year. I could have sworn it was the D's play on the field that decided they sucked this year.

This makes a whole lot more sense rather than bringing up meaningless rushing defense stats.

My point has been "run defense vs an option team" is something entirely different than "run defense vs a traditional team".

Some here do think this is the real world.

TechinItEasy, I think you successfully annoy the other teams fans on their board each week.

When they point out that we basically never pass the ball (54 ypg), why wouldn't they be optimisitic when theyve had success against the run?

What do you mean by "per the Rant?" Do you not think the D sucks?

You do realize that we have the 17th ranked run defense?


Why would any team try to run on LSU, there was hardly ever an LSU defender within five yards of their receivers?

Why should GT pass? Nobody could stop their running game when their quarterback was healthy.
