Don't look now, but the Texan defense is...
....moving up the charts.
16th yards allowed/game (326.5) 15th pts allowed/game (21) 20th rushing yards/game (113.2) 14th passing yards/game (213.2) 15th (tied) total INT's (6) Remember preseason when many said something like "if the defense could just be middle of the pack"?.... Well, I'd say they're middle of the pack at present... And the team is winning - last 4 of 5. Not sure what the Football Outsiders numbers are... probably 30th or something... lol  Big test/many questions will be answered this weekend against the Colts...

Imagine what the defense will look like once we get Mario's shoulder 100% after the bye.

It's definitely a coulda shoulda woulda situation, but can you imagine where we would be IF we didn't give up the 4 HUGE plays in the first 3 games?
Week 1 - T Jones - 38 yard run - Missed assignment Week 2 - C Johnson - 57 yard run - Missed assignment C Johnson - 69 yard pass - Missed assignment/BONEHEAD play C Johnson - 91 yard run - Missed assignment Week 3 - MJD - 61 yard run - Missed assignment Insert Pollard, Cushing and Dunta's "Preseason" is now over, Antonio Smith remembers that he can actually play.... Even though we have still given up a handful of big scores, 30 yarder or so to Fitz, forget to cover Vernon Davis on a couple of throws, and let an old TO run on a scamper.....gentlemen, I think we have a legit defense. If we can continue to rank in the top 15 of the major statistical categories, we should fare pretty well more times than not. The other guys get paid fairly well too, so I fully understand, and expect that there will be some oopses (said especially on the week of the Colts offense), but as long as we can continue the path we are on, we will be fine. I am a firm believer in what they are doing on offense, so if the D can hold them to 17-20, we should win more than we will lose. And that makes me a Happy Texan!

Imagine how red my face is after making all those disparaging remarks about Frank Bush and his defense a few short weeks ago. Frank if you read this board, may I offer my humblest apologies.
