I'll take it

as of today, weren't they top seven worst? and after today, if they eke up a spot or two, not to worry, the shellacking we're about to take in three straight road games should take care of that right quick.

I think they were tenth worst going into today. Probably climbed out of bottom ten with Raiders Giving up so many.

Going into today the Cards were 29th in points allowed. 27th in yards.

Thanks to the amazing ineptness of the Rams offense that should change.

I will say that PP, CC, Washington, and Acho are all 25 and under. That's a good start.

Now for QB, o-line, and safety...well...that's another issue.

That site has them 26th in pts allowed at 183 going into today.:confused:

Weird I've got it open right now and it has 183 points and 29th.

The Team Index page also has them at 29th.

Maybe 29=26 in Chicago where its always colder than Texas. :p

that is a good start... but CC is a goner and we all know it.

And Dan Williams is a super-stud but doesn't get enough PT for some ungodly reason. Coach had an excuse to prop him up in his Friday presser and instead chose to complain that he came into camp fat.

OK I think I've got it. The Cards were 29th in ppg going into today. You can't really go by points allowed right now because of the bye weeks.

You can when that is the bet. :)

Well of course when the bet doesn't settle until the end of the season and by then every team will have played the same # of games and the Cards will be 30th in points allowed.

:D

Our few good players are novices. The rest of the guys are retirees. They'll get torched most of the rest of the year.

Like I said throughout this thread our D has enormous potential but right now they are going to suck eggs while they adjust to the NFL from Professional College ball.

Williams really impresses me with how little he gets moved by double teams.

We have the beginnings of a good defense, but we need more talent across the board.

I vote we focus on defense with the next draft. Get one or two more good starters, and also add depth.

Resign CC, plug a hole or two in FA, get Rhodes and Toler back, and maybe, just maybe, we can compete with SF next year.

What do you know? You are a fan of a Big 12 team. They haven't played defense in that conference in 10 years.

:D

Funny watching bama vs. lsu and okie state and ksu at same time.

Five straight for the S-E-C though. Maybe you don't have to have a great defense to win a championship, but you damn sure need a good one.
