Yeah, they have to come away with a TD on those drives instead of just fieldgoals. If Smith and Co can improve upon their efficiency and consistency in scoring on those long drives, you're looking at a team that can make it far into the playoffs against those high powered offenses.
They have to be like the anaconda, choke the damn life out of the opposing offenses by limiting opportunities against the patchwork defense. Hali and Houston are going to have to keep coming up big in the 4th quarter. Even if they are playing well, it doesn't change the fact that Parker is a former PS guy, Abdullah is just an alright starter, Smith is the only good starting CB, etc.
I think that the offense is giving Houston and Hali just enough rest to be able to go 100% on every snap. Not only that, but the big TOP advantage helps prevent the other team from establishing and keeping a rhythm against the defense.
