19th in the league in rushing defense. Given up more rushing TD's than everyone, except NYG, OKL STL.

Statistically, we are not good. Were are at best, average. And every game I watch, average to BAD teams run all over us. Our schedule is very, very soft, and yet these bad teams run on us like we're made of jello. I respectfully request that you prove me wrong. And believe me, I truly hope I am.

Other teams can't keep up on the score board by running it only.

It's just the nature of sports. When you have a high-scoring offense you're going to give up a lot of points. It's just one of those things. Time and again this season our defense has come up with stops when needed.

When our offense isn't clicking and the game turns into a slugfest, our D has stepped up as well (Jets, Bills, first Falcons).
