I was just going over last season stats and comparing the different teams and where they ended up in offensive and defensive categories. Of course Seattle won the sb so lets look at them offensively. Passing was like 26th in the league in ypg. Rams were 29th only averaging 9 less ypg. Not much difference except Seattle allowed more sacks. Rushing Seattle was 4th while the rams were 19th. The difference is really 27 ypg. Seattle also had more rush attempts per game but the ypc was about the same.
Now you look at the defense and you can see why they won the SB. #1 in passing defense ypg and interceptions and #2 in td's allowed. Rams were 19th ypg and 20th interceptions and 8th in td's allowed. In rushing defense Seattle 8th, Rams 9th. The biggest difference is Seattle allowed only 4 rushing td's while the Rams allowed 18.
What does all this mean? I guess a dominant defense that creates turnovers has the best success in going to the playoffs and competing for a championship. At least it was last year. Denver got there though on a dominant offense. So go figure.
So what would be more important in this draft? Defense or offense? Heck I dont know. But gives everyone a chance to throw out their 2 cents.
