Yes, this defense has room to improve but the fact that you don't know if the defense is to blame for the offensive woes, and that you could care a less about points allowed as long as we improve, and all this logic stuff tells me that it is probably best that you remain a sports blog philosopher/bully and not a football coach because at the very end of the day it is about wins and losses and defenses help teams win by keeping points off the board. You can miss the forest for the trees and worry about how statistically sound we are I'll take a defense that gives up 18.5ppg and an offense that can score 19.

Trust me when I say that I have no issue practicing what I preach. Sorry to bully you around with sound logic.

I also would take a defense that gives up 18.5 PPG and an offense that scored 19. Except that just makes you an 8-8 team. Which is what we were last year. The key is to improve both units so the defense gives up 16 PPG and the offense scores 20.5 PPG. That's an 11-5 team with two top ten units.

Wouldn't we all get along so much better if that was the case? If it's about wins and losses, 11-5 would be better than 8-8.
