Yep.

They are using him down in the box in run support, and not trying to make him something he's not - a coverage DB.

Houston's run defense has gone from 31st to 21st - and they are allowing over 2 yards per carry less since he's found the lineup.
I have always thought he should have been more of a LB than a safety.

we should have never let Gibbs walk.

I would rather have him as the DC than Mr Pender****

Wow, a 2 YPC difference maker?

You add two or three more Bernard Pollards and you'd get a safety on every drive.

Our talent evaluation is shit, pure and simple, and it seems as though our brain trust makes emotional decisions over rational ones.

Right.

Not that I watched the games, but I suppose it helps that that the Bengals ran it only 17 times and the Niners 19 times.

Regardless, this is not the first time a guy has fit in better in another type of defense. He's actually being coached by the same guy who coached him here last year, Gibbs. They can probably better use him to his strengths and cover up his weaknesses due to the better quality of players around him.

But I agree, it would be nice for once to either find a defensive coach who can fit his scheme to the strengths of the players, or find players who can play well in the system. Seems like it's been a pattern the psat decade...

You realize that yards per carry is an AVERAGE?

Which means it doesn't matter is they ran the ball 20 times or 40 - they are still only giving up 2.7 (or whatever the exact number is) PER CARRY since his placement in the lineup.

Had I said that they haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher since his arrival, you'd have a point.

Most teams haven't ran against them

As opposed to the 22 carries for 222 yards they gave up against Tennessee?

Again, some of you are missing the point, that regardless of the number of times the opponent was running the ball, the Texans were allowing huge chunks of yardage PER CARRY.

They aren't doing that now.

I almost guarantee one could make a better defense out of the players that have left, than what we still have.

Jared Allen
Scott Fujita
Kawika Mitchell
Lawrence Tynes
Bernard Pollard
Ryan Sims (just a warm body)
Vonnie Holliday
Benny Sapp
Junior Siavii (I just needed a warm body, cant remember other dlinemen)
Keyaron Fox

Is there anyone else?

I realize these arent all world players, but all (except Sims and Siavii) could help us.
