I can't see how you would say anything other than Defense. Yes, the offense has slowed down since last season but given the fact that Morton/Kennison/Boerigchter were all injured during camp, you had to expect a bit of a slow start there... and that's where your defense HAS TO step up and make some stops. Instead, those guys made Quentin Griffin a week 1 All-Star... and in his next two games combined, he hasn't yet matched the rushing yards that he put up against your defense.
Obviously, I don't have a horse in this race but if I did, I'd be more pissed off at the defense than the offense. |
I guess you haven't been watching the games, then. Sadly, I have.
Our offense has DIED. Our offensive line is not opening holes for Priest or affording Green decent protection. They're getting shoved around. That hasn't happened for a long time. Our wide receivers are questionable AT BEST - Boe's gone, Morton sucks, Kennison's hurt, Dante's a midget, Smith was ineffective and cut, Parker's hurt, and Horn is little more than a rookie. We have no deep threat. Stack the line, double Gonzo, and suddenly, we look like shit.
I don't know exact numbers, but I'm willing to bet we've had more stalled drives in the first three games of 2004 than we did in the first half of the season last year.
The defense looked like crap against Denver, but little by little, every day removed from Knobinson, it's getting a bit better. But they still have talent issues and simply can't compensate for the offense falling on its ass.
And special teams - what's special? Coverage sucks ass, I think playing regularly on offense is already taking a toll on Hall.
Overall, I'd say the defense is probably doing more to help us than either other unit.
AND THAT'S fuckING SAD.
