Good News Kubiak!!

we're going to do some of your "evaluation" for you...

05-31st ranked Defense
1st in points given up per game (26.9)
2nd in yards given up per game (364)
1st in yards given up per play (5.8)
16th against 3rd downs (38% complete)
2nd against 4th downs (65% complete)

travis johnson and dunta are not enough to keep this log floating? fair enough. add mario and demeco.

06-24th ranked Defense
7th in points given up per game (22.9)
9th in yards given up per game (337)
5th in yards given up per play (5.5)
3rd against 3rd downs (44% complete)
22nd against 4th downs (46% complete)

richard smith's defense shows improvement from absolute bottom of the barrel to just plain bad. still not enough talent...add amobi, demps and fred bennett

07-24th ranked Defense
10th in points given up per game (24)
9th in yards given up per game (344.2)
6th in yards given up per play (5.5)
10th against 3rd downs (42% complete)
18th against 4th downs (50% complete)

i guess we're expecting something big from molden, barber, okam or adibi even though they mostly don't play a single damn down.

08-25th ranked Defense
3rd in points given up per game (33)
8th in yards given up per game (341)
8th in yards given up per play (5.7)
3rd against 3rd downs (49% complete)
1st against 4ths downs (100% complete)

sure, the 08 stats will even out a bit over 16...but this defense isn't showing the kind of marked improvement that will pull them out of the cellar. and certainly talent has been added, but the numbers all show a slight dip in performance. evalutations?
