defense whir

[fierro33]

which defense would u start in this scoring format:

very high scoring league in which yards against and pts against count for ALOT of pts (defenses average the same amount of pts as rbs 36pts , wrs average about 18)


miami @ falcons
washington @ giants
colts vs jags
ariz vs SF
hou vs jets
saints vs det
falcons vs miami

I'd probably lean toward HOU or N.O. as they are facing rookie QB's. Of the two, I'd lean towards Houston with their solid D line surly will cause problems for Sanchez and the Jets offense.

Hate to plug my own article, but it will save me a lot of typing here:

Or you can just skip that and trust me when I say start the Saints.

Sorry I gotta say Washington.
In your post you claim points scored and yards allowed are a big part.
Washington finished 4th in total yards allowed and 6th in total points allowed.
They played the Giants twice last season.
They held them to 16 points and 354 total yards in game 1. In the second they held them to 23 points and 404 total yards. That was with Jacobs and Burress both playing.

NO is interesting because the did hold Detroit to 7 points and 255 total yards. But thats hard to say it will happen again like that this year. It was more like a fluke that a team that finished the season in 26th place for points allowed and 23rd for total yards allowed pulled that one off. But I am sure D. Orlovsky as starting QB didn't help Detroit much.

I still like Washington better.

I would too if they weren't playing at the NYG. The Giants aren't necessarily a juggernaut offense but they'll pound the ball all day and they will score points, being at home doesn't hurt either. If the game was at Wash. I might be more inclined to agree. Stafford being named the starter in Detroit also adds fuel to the Saints pick.
