mjt328 Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 I certainly don't want to downplay our defensive talent. But it's really the coaching staff that makes this unit special. Once Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier figure out what the other team is trying to do, it's pretty much over. Notice that almost every time an opposing teams puts together a scoring drive, it comes in one of these three situations: - The first 1-2 drives of the game, when our coaches are still figuring out the offensive gameplan. - The first 1-2 drives of the second half, right after there have been some halftime adjustments. - When gifted a short-field from a turnover or busted special teams play. The average team scores 23-24 points per game. In 14 games, we have allowed the league average exactly twice (31 to Philly, and 24 to Baltimore). We have allowed less than 20 points a total of 10 times. If Josh Allen can just fix-up a couple of his issues, we are a couple offensive pieces away from being a legitimate powerhouse. 4
