Good Rush Defense

[AC Report]

The Hawks rush defense is one of its strong points. We are able to stop the run better than most teams. We are not number one but we are a dominant team in this area. We only allow 35.9 yards a game on the left side, 29.1 in the middle and 42.0 on the right side. The right is our weakest area.

The Cards are giving up a lot more on the ground. They average 63.3 just on the left side. They average 27.1 in the middle and 53.3 on the right side. They have trouble on the ends.

I think Brandon Mebane showed he is the anchor of that run defense. Do you happen to have the averages borken down like that for the games he missed compared to the games he's played?

Here are the Avg's. when Mebane played vs when he was out.

wk1 48 yrds, wk2 70 yrds, wk3 89yrds, wk4 78yrds + wk10 41 yrds
Weeks 1-4 = 90.75 yards ADD week 10 to this and the Avg is 65.2 yards

wk6 50yrds, wk7 113yrds, wk8 162yrds, wk9 144yrds
Weeks 6-9 = 117.25 yards

Week 10 = 41 yards (MEBANE BACK)...... He makes a BIG Diff.
