As for everything else, I'm not arguing whether they're a good defense or not. I'm just stating that they have done a good job this year shutting down the run overall, and haven't even allowed a 100-yard rusher. Now, the latter could definitely be because of points on the board. However, that 10th in ypr stands true, regardless, imo.
