I am not as concerned about the defense as I should be

There is something that just doens't have me as miffed as recent years. Yeah, we gave up 213 yards to a pretty good back, but (and I use this lightly) 148 yards came on two blown plays. Yeah, I know we gave them up, but how many times have we actually seen our players out of position, especially compared to recent years. We have three very smart linebackers, that haven't given up much this year. I also keep hearing people put down Bullocks, but he has played pretty good this year (remember he is a 2nd year starter). I have also liked what I have seen out of Stoutmire for the most part.

Here are the facts....

We allowed 217 yards of rushing on 26 carries (8.35 YPC)
We allowed 148 yards on two of those carries (74 YPC)
on the other 24 carries we allowed 69 yards (2.9 YPC)
