7th in total yards, but just avg in ppg 16th. They did play out of their minds in the playoffs.

Like I said, he had one of the best front fours. If they won on 1st and 2nd downs or created passing downs it was game over. I think it was more do to the talent then the coaching.

I do think Spags was at least a good evaluator of talent.

I must say I'm surprised by the firing. My friends are all happy now. We figured out during the year that this def was going to be a work in progress for longer than we hoped under spags. I figured we'd see one more year from him.

Not complaining at all, just surprised.

Switching to a 3-4 is just the type of jump start this team needs. When you finish worst in nfl history, you'll take anything you can get to motivate your players.

My hats of to CSP.
