Teams are going to score. If we keep the turnover margin in our favor then we'll have a nice little season.

Here is the breakdown, which I think highlights all the different ways we're trying to get to the passer right now:

Jordan 3.0
Kikaha 2.0
Klein 1.0
Okafor 1.0
Anzalone 1.0
Onyemata 1.0
Hendrickson 1.0
Bush 1.0

Need to improve that big time if we want to have a good season.

I would love to see these results in a graph by week.

It would look drunk.

These matter the most. Much better on third down the last 2 games. Same with turnovers. We'd probably be first in fumbles had we gotten all the ones we've forced. Idk how we haven't fell on more of these. Especially one against Cam last week and the Cutler one yesterday

So when the Saints played a team with an offensive pulse, they were ravaged, but when they played a team with ridiculous injuries to their offense and/or a shitty team in Miami, they look like world-beaters.

I still remember the 2012 "Worst Defense Ever" shutting out the Buccaneers team near the end of the season.

Forgive me if I don't buy into this shitty defense magically being great all of a sudden.
