Our run defense has actually been fairly solid.

almost all of that damage came in Week 1.

A meteoric rise, if I've ever seen one.

Gave up 37 to Atlanta. Only gave up 17 to Cleveland which was our average last year. Only gave up 9 today.

i think next week will be interesting.
first prime time game, on the road, against a beatable defense and an offense with a great run game and a premier receiver.
itll be a good test on both sides of the ball.

Cleveland put up 27 on Pittsburg and 21 on Baltimore

That information seems relevant.

Holding them to 19 on offense may be an accomplishment they suck in name only
Posted on 9/21/14 at 8:12 pm to Hoodoo Man
True but Cleveland put up 27 and 21 in their other two games against Pittsburgh and Baltimore respectively. Minnesota put up 34 on STL before getting demolished by NE.

I has a dissapoint.
ok not really - once we have a few more games at home we'll be top 3-4, and with that and our new-found ability to run the ball, assusming we commit to it of course, we could be developing a nice formula to win games however we need to based on the conditions and the defenses we see for the back-end of the season.
That balance is something we havent seen since 09. Yall remember that year?

We're running the ball very well.
I'm quite encouraged by it.

Although the Vikings offense sucks the red zone defense was encouraging. I was digging the 3 safety sets since it seemed like we didn't see much of that the first two games. I also liked seeing Byrd playing a bit of single high safety which is which is what I thought we brought him here for in the first place. I think the defense will come along the more the season goes on.
Also, I don't like the fact that they're trying to give Vaccaro a more "defined" role. I think he needs to be utilized in any position necessary. He played so well last year being a "rover".
