why? Most of the teams we play have WORSE pass rushes and front 4's than Detroit.
your comment confuses me, sir!
Sorry to confuse. Being in insurance it is in my nature.
I didn't mean to imply that Det had the worst defense in the league. Just that is it bad enough to make a young inexperienced line look pretty good. (Better than what they really are at this point in the season? Perhaps.)
It is only week 3 and overall team stats are certainly not carved into stone.
BUT Det is #24 in overall defense. (29th in pass defense)
There are only a few teams that are on the GB schedule that are worse that Det at this point in time.
SF 25th
AZ 26th
NYJ 30th
all 3 of those teams have been better vs the pass than Det (they are 23,28, 27 in pass defense respectively.)
Since you were speaking about the GB OL and their pass protection that means at this point in time Det has the worst pass defense that GB will see this year. (I know it is early. I didn't mean for this to be a definitive year long statement.)
Also the last time I check GB is in the NFC Norris division so if they are going to play the same team repeatedly let it be someone from their own division.
Besides it was a smart@ss reply and it is not suppose to make sense.
Simply that the line did look good so let's play Det again so we can see the same level of success.
