my deduction after evaluating all available evidence is that the MU Defense will be improved to just below average from awful last year. That means this Defense will have trouble getting off the field at times and will need SEC offenses to stop themselves or will need to be very opportunistic, i.e. the old Pinkel bend-but-don't-break approach.

If the Defense can be good in one statistical category, it'll need to be in Redzone Scoring Defense.

If the Defense is just simply average, that will be a huge improvement. To ask this defense to be good is too much IMO.

MU's formula for winning.... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:32:27
     The single biggest thing we need to achieve is getting - alwaysright MU - 8/29 17:13:02
     a defense good enough to force more punts than MU takes(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 14:42:51
     Prediction - JimD MU - 8/29 12:57:41
          Tennessee averaged 35.9. A&M averaged 31.5. State 29.3. - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 13:13:30
               We'll avg 35+ vs weak teams. But not overall - coolbean MU - 8/29 13:34:08
     the defense is going to have to make huge strides - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 12:57:15
          with just a couple breaks MUwould have won 6 in 2016 - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 14:46:33
               on the other hand we weren't that far off from going 2-10 - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 15:45:29
                    i bet your glass is half empty isn't it?(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 16:03:06
          So talent was the issue last year? I mean, we had an NFL - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 13:04:27
               talent is worse now so coaching had better get better. (nm) - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 14:27:36
                    How are you measuring talent? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 15:22:54
                         depth is weak as it's been in a while. (nm) - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 15:44:24
                              we don't really know that - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 15:56:11
                                   go ahead and hope for a miracle - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 16:00:08
                                        Looked pretty good last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 16:03:23
     I believe the key is the 1st quarter. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 12:46:27
          Yep, which means we have to have a running game... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:51:55
               Right. All about the o-line push to establish the run game. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 13:04:44
     How do you know the defense will be awful? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:41:34
          Those are your words not mine.... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:49:11
               A defense that gives up over 30 ppg isn't average - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:53:04
                    MU gave up 35 a game in SEC play in 2016. - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 13:07:32
          Just assume it'll suck because it sucked last year - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:47:06
               Are our opponents not getting better? I hope i'm wrong - coolbean MU - 8/29 13:29:52
                    Again, we have no way of knowing. - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 13:34:46
               Yea last year everyone assumed the defense would be great - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:51:34
                    Correct and then panic sets in and people deduce that - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:57:08
                         That's true - you put it plainly. We have to hope that - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 13:10:56
                              We could be a stellar defense. It's largely unknown - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 13:11:28
                                   True.(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 14:15:23
     Like I said below, football generally always comes down to - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:34:30
          If Lock is hitting big plays on 2nd and short instead .... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:38:25
               Well you have to have balance of course, but I am relying - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:39:31
