No, I want to ignore a stat that doesn't count for anything. If people don't think that ranking a defense by the number of points they allowed is proper, they are entitled to their opinion. And they can enjoy losing. Because the scoreboard is what matters. I'll take a defense that ranks #10 in yards allowed and #1 in points allowed over a defense that ranks #10 in points allowed and #1 in yards allowed. How about you?
So yes, I'll ignore how "they" actually grade a defense. Because I'll take my defense that doesn't give up points over your defense that doesn't give up yardage.

He just locked Maclin down for the rest of the game. He's a beast.
In a regular season game, yes. But was Maclin going to be playing in the second half? I didn't think what happened warranted an ejection.

Sorry gotta agree with Jrry, the only way to rank a defense is by points given up. Who gives a damn how many yards they gave up it's all about preventing the other team from scoring.

With reps or without reps he has not shown quick decisions.

Watch him in college. He was a very quick decision-maker.
Agreed. Troy Hill looks good. Play him over Sensabaugh.

He'll probably play in the 3rd, but they just want to get everyone into the room without risk. It's the smart play.

No reason to. Let him get the ball after half and get him in a rhythm.

I hope the issue with Goff is that he hasn't gotten enough reps with the 1s.
We'll see. The last couple weeks have been rough. Keenum reminds me of Joe Theissman and Goff reminds me of Jay Shroeder. I like Keenum's footwork and he gets the ball out fast. A heady QB. The lack of respect for that man's game on this board is absolutely absurd. His development has been nice. Fisher just doesn't like that guy for his personality. Hopefully Goff comes around but this is a good team with Keenum in there too.

I'm not sure this defense will be top 10 on anything this year. Great D line, but who in the back 7, beyond Tru maybe really dominates? Ogletree is playing a new position, our other lbs are mediocre at best, and we have one good db, and a lot of unknowns. The O will be better - hard not to be, but I think the D will regress a bit. I hope I'm wrong about the D, but there are a lot of questions there.

These are bigger issues than preseason issues, IMO.

Ayers with two NZI's and Joyner throwing punches...
Good stand to hold to a FG though.
Gotta agree that if you want Goff to do better with the first team, he needs first team reps in practice. If he isn't comfortable with those guys cuz he hasn't worked with them, then he thinks more you overthink stuff you make mistakes.
He would probably be looking better if he was out there with the 2nd team to be honest since he works with them more.
