Halfway through the season, here's where we rank in a bunch of stats:

Wow. 10th in sacks allowed. In my mind we were doing well there.

squints

i think that is 10th best in sacks allowed, but I could be wrong

10th best. Higher is always better in the rankings. Pass pro has been amazing

One note on 3rd down %...AROD has said they only track 'conversion down %' which

the lacks of penalties is critical and probably isn't appreciated enough

See my note above about 'conversion down %'

I remember hearing Arod talk about this earlier in the season. Was it on

It's top 40 in the country if you look at just the conversion down. Having said

I saw this stat today. We lead the country in % of opponent drives that gain

80th in sacks is surprising. Thought we were doing better there.

Think about the Arizona game. Feels like we sacked him a bunch but we only got 1

Offense is definitely not bad though. Average to above average

MaximusMeridius

The defense is absolutely elite. You take all of them together and it's been a top 5-10 defense.

Sacks and penalties, other than the defensive passing efficiency, that is.

I wish we used Jack Kelly more as an edge rusher. Jack has the athleticism to
