Which defense would you rather have: Defense #1:  34 turnovers, 27 sacks, 122 passes defended, 400 yards/game, 21.2 points/game Defense #2:  14 turnovers, 31 sacks, 98 passes defended, 373 yards/game, 21.5 points/game I know which one I'd rather have. We also have more turnovers and fewer points per game than the Lions and Falcons, while they both have a few more sacks.  I don't think either one of those defenses are "better" than ours, just different.   But either way, ours gets better results. I suspect you will see a lot of new wrinkles thrown in come playoff time too.  I think Capers simplified the defense somewhat when the season started because of the strike.  Since we have been winning, there's really no reason to show more during the season.  I'll wager when playoffs start you'll see a lot more blitz packages and stunts thrown in, much like last season.</blockquote>
