the 4th.
Yes, it is an assumption. A hypothesis. One I'd like to see proven or disproven. Let's assume, I'm wrong and you're right. Given we've now solved the O we can see what parts of the D are wrong. At that point, we'd have at least two units roughly pulling their weight. So the team would be in much better position. If that were the case we wouldn't be 0-3 in the Freeman era, because we have one side of the ball not pulling their weight at all period.
You can't win with one unit pulling it's weight.
Yes, the D isn't great but it's pulling its weight. I don't know when this article was written but it says (skimmed) the most common score is 55pts. 55/2 = 27.5
Our defense is only giving up 20 this year. or 72% of expected.
Our offense isn't even close averaging 15.5 or only 56% of expected. That's terrible. A major problem which likely leads to a D giving up more points for being gased.
No I do not think our D is great. I think our O is THE MAJOR problem that has to be fixed now and first.
