This is why I feel like the defense has been doing its job even when the score at the end of the game shows a lot of points for the opponents. If the defense is getting off the field, the offense then needs to capitalize on that opportunity. In our team's case, they're getting off the field defensively (4th best in NFL), but the offense is not capitalizing on it.

Also, Mario Williams still leads this team in sacks.

The difference between this year and last year so far in the RedZone has been Arian being able to run it in...

This is not a Matt Schaub hate post, but he just hasn't been a great RedZone guy...

I agree, but I extend it to Kubiak's system. Whenever this time gets down to the 5 yard line, I just expect a FG unless Foster gets the ball. If this team had 4 Andre Johnsons on the field simultaneously, I think Kubiak's system would find a way to make them subpar that close to the goal line. At the same time, it's not a good enough system to make any old RB good in tight space. It needs a guy like Foster.

Last yr was the only yr they were good in the red zone. Besides that, even with leach, the texans have been avg in the money zone.
