Two men in Some's cafeteria were having an intereting conversation on how u can rate a defense in the NFL........one said it was how few points the defense allows.........the other said yardage................the conversation was what single statistic is best in rating a defense............i agreed with the man who said in terms of yardage.....................they other team might have a very good special teams person........well, more aptly put........your special teams might suck..........and give the opponents offense very good starting field postion...........and if the opposing offense consitently gets good starting field position, either b/c your offense sucks or your special teams suck.........they other team is just going to score once in a while................

I also mentioned how the Redskins would use Darrel Green to return kicks.........to give the offense good starting field position or score a touchdown..........he was very good........this guy for Green Bay was one of the biggest reasons Green Bay won in 1996......
