Best Defenses in 2008?

Recommended Posts

Ok, our draft is this weekend and we have a rather complex and different scoring system for our team defense. Points allowed is the biggest factor though so i'm trying to determine which teams will give up the fewest points. There's not a ton of analysis on this so i'm turning to the huddlers for help. The first teams that come to mind are:

Minny

SD

Chicago

NE (although depth is a concern)

Dallas (maybe?)

 

Any other teams come to mind or perhaps teams that are flying under the radar?

You may want to consider the Giants on that list too well at least i have a maybe for them like the coyboys

Raiders, Texans and Cardinals? They'd be flying under the radar.

New Orleans

 

Probably not likely. However, they will be flying well below the radar and if they surprise, they'd make a solid WW addition. Vilma and McCray would need to step up their game and play like their '06 versions.

Since points allowed is the biggest factor.... this is from last year:

 

IND

PITT

TB

NE

SD

GB

SEA

 

I don't see IND repeating. However, think that the rest will again be right there at the top except maybe GB and a dinged up NE.

Minnesota is a trendy pick but they are still having issues with the secondary especially with Williams missing at least the first 4 games. Their DL does not have a lot of depth either. Just be careful tiering them so high.

I like Philly to have a big rebound year all around. Their secondary is awesome on paper which should translate into more sacks, INT's and turnovers.

 

Sshhh...they'll likely finish top-5 defensively this year.....solid DL, fast (albeit inexperienced LBs), and perhaps the best secondary in football....and a seasoned offense that will keep them off the field.

Any validity to the worry that the Bears D will be on the field a lot this year because of the poorer O, get more tired than they might of and concede more?

They run their offense on 4th downs.

 

They've rarely had solid offenses and it hasn't effected them yet. The only thing that's slowed them down is injuries. If Harris and company stay healthy, they'll be monsters.

plus the explosive additions at KR and PR....special teams just got a facelift along with the speedy front 7 and the veteran secondary...
