Default Defensive Stats - Through 3 games...

16th = Total Yards given up per game (347.7)
14th = Points given up per game (21.0)
T9th = Total Take Aways (5)

15th = Passing Yards given up per game (241.7)
14th = Passing Yards per attempt given up (7.1)
T4th = Sacks (10)
T3rd = Fumbles Taken Away (3)
16th = Interceptions (2)

15th = Rushing Yards given up per game (106.0)
15th = Rushing yards per attempt given up (4.1)

So, this is what an NFL average defense feels like?

It has been a LONG time since the Colts put an average NFL defense on the field.

I LIKE it!

Walk Worthy,

The new scheme and the lack of tape on it helps. I am not certain we have the talent to continue this level of play all season. And if Leonard or one of the starting DL get hurt and miss significant time, especially Hunt (can't believe I'm saying that) or Sheard, we are screwed. Basham sucks and can't play. He won't step up.

Amazing what one potential future star and another guy playing like a star can do for a defense.

If Basham eventually winds up on another team, you just know that he’ll end up being another Jerry Hughes

No I don’t. You simply don’t keep a guy that can’t play

Nah I dont' think that's the case. Hughes showed some signs of life his last year here. Basham hasn't shown shit.

The D has definitely played above my expectations so far. In particular the pass rush that has been generated has definitely been above my expectations. The lack of a pass rush was one of the main reasons I was so pessimistic on the D as a whole. I don’t have any confidence that it or Hunt’s play will continue at the current level. But hey I was wrong and I didn’t expect anywhere near this level of play 3 games in. I hope they keep proving me wrong.

I do fully believe in Leonard though. Hard to maintain his current level of production because it’s so damn high, but I don’t have any doubts he’s a difference maker.

Best part is, aside from Sheard, no one playing now has an expensive contract. They made a mid-level defense in 2 years with minimal investment.
