LOLOL (grabbing popcorn...awaiting the profanity and attacks directed at me for such blasphemy! lol)
Sorry, I couldn't resist
Just having some fun
Wanna review what our defense ranked in Andy's first 5 years?
Scoring D: 9th, 8th, 5th, 12th, 2nd
Scoring O: 18th, 12th, 6th, 15th, 7th
Playoffs: L WC, L WC, L WC, L WC, L WC
Rec: 9-7, 10-6, 11-5, 10-5-1, 12-4
The D was better than the O every year.
Burrow:
Scoring D: 22nd, 17th, 6th, 21st, 25th
Scoring O: 29th, 7th, 7th, 16th, 6th
Playoffs: No, L SB, L Con, No, No
Rec: 4-11-1, 10-7, 12-4, 9-8, 9-8
Palmer:
Scoring D: 21st, 22nd, 17th, 24th, 19th, 6th
Scoring O: 10th, 4th, 8th, 11th, DNP (32nd), 22nd
Playoffs: No, L WC, No, No, No, L WC
Rec: 8-8, 11-5, 8-8, 7-9, 4-11-1, 10-6
Blake:
Scoring D: 26th, 24th, 23rd, 27th, 30th, 31st
Scoring O: 23rd, 14th, 5th, 10th, 27th (NOD), 24th
Playoffs: No, No, No, No, No, No
Rec: 3-13, 7-9, 8-8, 7-9, 3-13, 4-12
NOD is Neil O'Donnell.
Esiason (28 teams)
Scoring D: 26th, 23rd, 24th, 16th, 7th, 19th
Scoring O: 3rd, 3rd, 20th, 1st, 4th, 7th
Playoffs: No, No, No, L SB, No, L Div
Rec: 7-9, 10-6, 4-11, 12-4, 8-8, 9-7
Not makeing the playoffs in 1989 with the 4th best scoring O and 7th best scoring D was quite a trick.
Anderson: 26 teams
Scoring D: 5th, 11th, 13th, 6th, 7th
Scoring O: 13th, 11th, 10th, 9th, 6th
Playoffs: No, L Div, No, L Div, No
Rec: 8-6, 10-4, 7-7, 11-3, 10-4
10-4 not good enough for post-season that last year.
