Kansas City ranked #8 in total defense! (nfl.com) Bottom 10 in rushing, but getting better. Top 5 in pass defense drags up the ol' average.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BearsFan1)</div><div class='quotemain'>If teams can run successfully, why pass.</div> Could be that. We haven't played the Bears to boost that pass defense, that's for sure. We will probably drop a few notches after Mr. Mannings visit. The rushing defense is getting a little better each week. I just hope we can finish up around middle of the pack. That would be a substantial improvement over last year. We are blitzing the crap out of everybody, which helps lead to errant passes and poor completion %s. I hope we can get some pressure on Manning. The thought of selling out trying to blitz him scares me a little, but I think it's our best plan for defensive success.
If you blitz manning more than 10% of the time you will lose badly. If you dont blitz him 10% of the time, your defense plays its best and your offense plays its best you win.
