You took a specific sliver of a statistical category and are putting it out there as an overall rating. Why don't you just list what they ranked in turn overs and say that's their overall defensive ranking, too? Or sacks? Does this work in the backwoods hills you allegedly practice law in?
The Redskins were #21 in points allowed meaning they ranked 21st in overall/total defense. As Marvin, Guenther, and Zimmer have all pointed out in previous interviews: Points allowed is the king stat on D. There is no close 2nd. To bring up yards is just trolling and being contrarian. Strangly, Fred, in 2001 the Redskins D was ranked 13th overall http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2001/opp.htm and then Marvin showed up for one season in 2002 and they dropped like a rock down to 21st http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2002/opp.htm
Redskins defense was 11th in rushing tds allowed and 9th in passing tds allowed. They ranked so low in scoring defense becaue they allowed 6 non-offensove tds.
The defensive numbers were also skewed because the Redskins offense was 30th in the league in turning the ball over and the kick coverage teams were among the worst in the league. The Redskins opponents average drive started at their own 35.5 yard line which was dead last in the league.
But I still think you find it funny that I use the exact same stat that the NFL uses to rank total defense. And no matter how you spin it claiming that Marvin Lewsi "stunk it up" in Washington shows nothing but a blind hatred instead of a logical analysis.
