re: Dawgs' Grantham eager for next challenge...

hopefully that's to fix that revolving door of a rush defense we have been sporting

To be fair, the only games we were gashed were against-

#1 NFL Draft RB (at the time) Lattimore

#2 NFL Draft RB (currently #1 cuz of Latti's injury) Lacy (with 3 NFL 1st round offensive linemen, and a 2nd round lineman)

#3 NFL Draft RB (maybe 1st round) Nebraska guy. Motel 6 not in the game.

As CTG points out in the article, our defense allowed 3.something yards per carry in conference play, lower than the conference average. With a 3 man front hellbent on sacking quarterbacks, part of the tradeoff is that you make yourself vulnerable to the run.

I've got a better feeling about Grantham going into 2013, I can't put my finger on it just yet.
