Peter King: MMQB - 9/8/14

[Rambitious1]

Take out the Patterson run, and we gave up the NFL avg 4.1 yards per carry for 119.

Patterson hosed us. AP was a fairly non-factor the entire game.

And one TD off a double coverage pick.

In my opinion, the offense gave up 14 pts to the Vikings, while the D only gave up 20. Not a lot of points considering how often our offense put the Vikings in our territory and didn't do a damn thing to score themselves.

Our D is the last thing I'm worried about right now.

Which one?

We had a thread here....It was "Are you concerned?" A bunch of folks said, naw it's preseason, yada yada....Well, there are some keys in preseason, like tackling, penalties, and what your 1's look like....and our 1's didn't perform great or really good in any game....Esp. the defense....Even the offense was constantly getting QB's hit, and had difficulty running the ball...I'm wondering, is anyone that wasn't concerned or worried, worried or concerned now?

4.1 yards is an effective run game.

By NFL standards it is the definition of average, or a little worse. If we want to have an elite defense 185 yards a game and 6 per carry isn't going to get it done (notice how I slipped the actual stats in there as opposed to the revised stats).
