Last two years-- too many critical situations where we went 3 and out or had very short drives or lost yardage due to stupid penalties or failed to get a short yardage first down. It put the defense on the field way too often and often in precarious positions on the field. Actually there were times when our D played outstanding...but in the course of a game, if the offense isn't making some drives, the D gets winded and disheartened.
The Defensive line is our weakest link, and if our offense can sustain a lot of drives, and score on a good percentage of them, perhaps we will keep the opponent's QB off the field. For an undermanned D this could be one of our great assets. I would certainly welcome us getting some quick scores, but we need to have some sustained drives along the way.
