Run defense

[PARAM]

Our run defense number have been surprisingly good lately. On the season, it doesn't look impressive. 4.0 per carry against us. But Since our opening day Australian loss to the niners we've only allowed 2 teams to surpass 3.4 per carry. Buffalo (6.3 y/att, 37 for 234 / Allen 10 for 121) and Philly (27 for 104, 3.9). We've held running backs to a 3.6 avg in our 8 games (180 for 649). And we've had some amazing halves of football.

In the second half yesterday, we allowed the Chargers 73 yards on 22 plays. (3.3 yds/play).
In the first half vs Las Vegas, we allowed 128 yards on 33 plays (3.8 yds/play).
The second half in Philly we allowed 72 yards on 28 plays (2.6).
Denver's 1st half? 67 yards on 22 plays (3.0).
NYG 2nd half? 70 yards on 22 plays (3.2).

This D is capable of shutting down opponents and if we can find consistency on offense, we're gonna win a lot of games going forward.

They unleashed Speights and allowed him to play all down field, all the time. This has made a huge difference.

The Niners game was an outlier because, Australia. That was the Niners second most efficient rushing game of the year and the game they ran for the most yards. Given who all they've played, safe to say that was an outlier.

Then, Josh Allen. He is one of one at this point.

Take those two away and we may have the best run d in the league.

Speights was outstanding yesterday

Is that what it is? Playing to his strengths. Seems like a whole new player.

Speights has been a Monster lately, I think the Landman experience is coming to an end.

The run defense has been very good lately. I'm concerned about the McDuffie and Watson injuries. If they don't play are they gonna be more conservative and maybe give the corners more help? Could affect the run defense if they have to commit to that.

The back end support from the DBs has really helped the run defense. Speights has been attacking the run lately. I'm not convinced the Rams can stop a good rushing team. Rams offense has to help the defense stay off the field.

Complimentary football like they played in the 2nd half yesterday.

At this point, the defense is the strongest unit. I think they'll have to help the offense by shutting teams down.

But they don't have a show about west Texas oilmen named Speights!
