tomur67 Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I've never heard of them before, but I guess they must be some pretty smart guys. They ranked all 32 defenses. The top 5 were: 1. Steelers 2, Raven 3. Bills 4. 49'ers 5. Vikings See the whole list at www.yardbarker.com/nfl 1

Don Otreply Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I’m good with it, as long as they don’t rank defenses on outcomes that did not happen... I’m lookin at you PFF... ? Go Bills!!! 1

GunnerBill Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 With all these "rankings" you can tell it is a slower summer than normal.

BullBuchanan Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Well we did rank #2 in D yards last season, so it's not a stretch. 1

bigK14094 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 W/o Star L, who knows. Stopping the run was a problem in the Wrecks years, and early in the McD era. that stopped when Star arrived. Overpaid, maybe, but, he did his job! And, I thought he got it going a little better at the end of last season. He is a loss this year.

TBBills Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Nice so the Bills are #2 best defense... Steelers aren't even too 5 so I will remove it for the website. Those guys must be amateurs.
machine gun kelly Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Regardless of thoughts on Yardbarker, I agree with the ranking here at least the top 5.

Expand The Steelers probably do have the best defense in the NFL. 2 really good pass rushers in watt and dupree. Unsung guys like tuitt and hayward. Haden, Fitzpatrick, edmunds. Devin bush inside. They are legit. They led the league in sacks and takeaways. They also went 8-8 with rudolph and hodges last year which is crazy. Even crazier that they didn't upgrade the backup QB spot with guys like dalton, and flacco sitting out there for pennies on the dollar. The ravens added queen, calais campbell, wolfe - and lost michael pierce. Humphrey, peters, thomas on the backend is pretty awesome too. Should be a really tough team.
JohnNord Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 On One Bills Live, Aaron Schatz of Foot all Outsiders said that the Bills have the highest probability to have a top defense. Outside of that, the rest of the interview was brutal with Tasker and Chris Brown as host

Expand Steelers D, Ravens D, 49ers D, Buffalo D. Those look like a top 4. Vikings D will be up there as always with Zimmer.

So 3 times Tenn started in baltimore territory, scored on all 3. The other time Henry broke off a big one. Even with Henry going for almost 200 yards, Baltimore still had greater TOP. Chiefs vs Ravens is an interesting matchup tho since stopping the ravens run game is so challenging. Buffalo did well with LJ last time, but the offense was pretty bad for the majority of the game. Tons of sacks, tons of incompletions, and a fumble that gave them a short field. Between the fumble, and the missed coverage on the long passing TD... that was pretty much the difference. Buffalo has a good pass defense, but if Mahomes can successfully buy time it would be a problem. Edited July 30, 2020 by dneveu 2
