Sounds good. Miami's D is one of the best in the NFL. Suh is having a career year. Miami is ecstatic with his production. Better?
How about a "My bad, Rob. You're right about that one." Instead of another smarmy comment?

Great run D's don't fold near the end zone.

If you were right -- I'd have no problem saying so. So I will just stick with -- Sounds good.
Detroit -- While the overwhelming majority of the rushing TD's are goal line scores -- teams can gash them on the ground or the air. I would still take Detroit's rush defense over Miami's. I'd take Miami's pass rush and pass defense over the Lions.
You just said teams can't gash Detroit's run D, and I proved you wrong. The Lions give up more long runs than almost anyone.
Lions 2nd worst in NFL giving up runs of 40 yards or more, and tied for 7th worst in giving up runs of 20 yards or more.
What does that tell you in regards to Miami rush defense, when they give up more yards per game and more yards per carry than Detroit?
Learn to read and then I will have a conversation with you. There is a slight difference between can and can't, just like there is a slight difference between the #1 defense and the #1 rush defense.
I assumed you meant can't since you've been trying to tell me as much all year. You keep saying Detroit's D only gives up goal line scores, but now finally you admit they're rush D is awful in between the 20's too. Thank you.
Nowhere did I say Detroit only gives up goal line scores. I said the overwhelming majority are goal line scores. YET AGAIN. Learn how to read.
Per average doesn't matter to me. Total yards and points. You can't sell me that D giving up more yards and scores is better than a team giving up less yards and less scores. Makes zero sense.
Splitting hairs. They've also given up some of the longest rush TDs in the league. So your point is moot.
They have? 7 of the 10 TDs runs are from 1 or 2 yards. 1 is from 4 yards. 1 is from 9 yards. The only long run they have given up is against Arizona, in the 4th quarter of a 35-7 game, with half the team sitting on the bench. That was 63 yards.
So unless 4 and 9 yards are some of the longest TD's in the league -- you are once again making stuff up as you go. They have this newfangled thing called the internet. You can look stuff up before you post, so you don't make yourself look foolish.
So we've established that the Lions rush D gives up some of the longest runs of the year, and the most scores.
And this somehow supports the notion that the Lions have a good run D?
