Compliment to the offense's strength.

I'll go for this.   


And on defense being a middle of the pack run stopping team would be enough.  I do not want the other team to control the clock and demoralize and exhaust our players.  There is a psychological price to pay for letting a team just drive down the field.    I realize there is also a psychological factor to driving down the field to be held to 3 or 0 points.  But snuffing their drives is a more potent formula.

Baltimore almost beat us in the playoff game because we could not stop their offense.  They just bludgeoned us down the field and we were a turnover away from losing the game.  We have to do better than that.
