I'd say something, but I can't be seen talking to a cellar dweller.

thus proving the pointless-ness of yards as a measurement for defense...

Same 3 teams are top 10 rushing...that's a formula for a good season, usually:
2. Denver 158.7 6. Kansas City 137.0 9. Sad Diego 130.0 . . . . . 25. Oakland 85.8

Those last 2 demonstrate something. They demonstrate that Oakland still sucks because, like last year, they still cannot run the ball and they still cannot stop the run.

They bent over for Eli Manning yesterday in the 4th quarter. Yards are only used when it favors an argument. fuck yards. |

But it kinda maybe also might be possible that your stellar run defense might sorta be a function of the fact that you aren't getting many run plays against you. Only the Bucs have had to defend fewer run plays than KC. Thats because the Bucs only allow 2.9 yards per play. In contrast, KC allows a whopping 4.2 yards per play. So if KC allows so much per play (24th in the league), why don't teams just run the ball at you? Cuz you guyz also have the 29th ranked pass defense, and thats an easier route to go. Oakland is 9th against the run in yards per play allowed. So your "Oakland cannot stop the run" theory might kinda also reflect on your team's run defense as well. Rush Yards allowed per play: #9 Oakland #24 KC |

The ypc is inflated big time due to Ronnie Brown's 65-yard TD run last week.
Our ypc average was in the top 10 last week.

Look at the Redskins game. Washington was trying to run all game long and didn't have much success. Portis had a grand total of 77 yards on 21 carries.
BTW, what's up with your offense? 21 points a game is decidely average.

You gonna sit here and tell me Denver and Dallas don't have good run defenses? Similar stats compared to KC.
We've only allowed 4 rushing TDs, and 2 of them came against Denver.
