    Don't worry. Taylor "repeat first down" Lewan will fix that.

    I trust Mr. LeBeau will spice things up come regular season. Don't forget, our defense statistically wasn't atrocious last year:

    Total Yards: 12th (343.2)
    Total P Yards: 7th (229.9)
    Total R Yards: 18th (112.31), T-7th
    T-7th in lowest YPC at 3.9
    Sacks: 12th (39)
    T-7th in most 40+ yrd pass plays allowed
    Total Points Allowed: 27th (26.4) :drunk:

    Considering Morgan & McCourty both missed significant time and Griffin was our starting FS, those numbers are decent. Just need to reduce our points allowed and 40+ yd pass plays allowed. Part of these numbers come from our defense not being able to stay on the field, offenses got better field position, thus didn't need as many yards to score.

    Regardless, our defense is much improved from last year. Removing Griffin was huge, McCourty being back is a plus (although he's average, he's light years better than Coty & BWW), and added multiple rookies. Hopefully the run game can keep them off the field and fresh.

    I agree with the teams's change in attitude regarding nearly everything, but ...

    I felt like Mariota may have taken a shot because Jones was double teaming the guy on the ground behind the play.

    And it wasn't like I was expecting our defense just to make leaps and bounds. We have another big draft next year with two first rounders to address defensive issues (and a WR issue as well) and two thirds which should help as well. As you pointed out it wasn't just absolutely horrible, it wasn't pretty, but wasn't the worst. If we can just make strides on defense with an improved offense, I'll be happy considering the draft next year and players this year getting more experience.

    Well on that play he had plenty of pocket time, no one was open so he chose himself to leave the pocket and maybe find a different angle to get someone open. To me that's more on MM than our O-Line.

    I watched Conklin on a play off RT and he chipped a guy out of the way, and once sure he wouldn't make the tackle went after another guy 5 yards further downfield. Nice to see hustle.

    That first part was my point though. Last year they didn't.

    If they can run succesfully, and teams respect that, MM job will be that much easier.
